Paul was tent maker by profession, not a physician.  But do not the Rabbis
even today perform the circumcism, not a docter?

Custom may dictate who is performing the actual deed.

Eddie:

Maybe this will answer your question. Had Paul been a
physician, this is how the verse would have been
written to indicate that Paul himself circumcised Tim.
Since it is believed that Paul would not himself have
done the circumcision, an alternative grammatical
solution is sought....hence, the causative active.
