Hooray, it worked! Thanks for pointing out the configuration error.
After fixing it everything worked like a charm. Would be very tricky
for me to locate the issue...

If the configuration is invalid, networking.service could probably
complain about that? I would be able then to resolve the issue myself.

Just for my record the reference to documentation:

https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections#Configuring_bridging_in_.2Fetc.2Fnetwork.2Finterfaces
