I have two circumference and a line connecting their centers. Here it is:
Now, using the 'Stroke style' dialog box I add a start and end markers to the line so the the line became a double arrow. Here it is:
Always in the 'Stroke style' dialog box there is the possibility to define an offset for the markers. Here I add some offset so that the arrows get outside the circumferences:
Now my questions
1) is there the possibility to hide the part of the line inside the circumference? I would like to remove the red parts. Maybe I could set a fill color for the circumferences so that it cover the lines but.... isn't there another simpler solution?
2) Why if I change the offset of the left arrow it automatically change also the offset of the right arrow? Shouldn't they be independent?
If you don´t want use connectors you can simply use to "arrows" as start and end markers of the straoke and let the points snap to the circle then. I guess no one will see/notice if it´s really 100% pointing to the midpoints.

I'd try creating the line using the diagram connectors tool (o).
I thought I had already suggested that: https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/connect-the-center-of-two-circumferences/#c41959
@Aero & @Polygon thanks!
Do you know what happen under the hood when you use connectors? I imagine the connector is a special type of bezier path.....

Thank you @Polygon!
