I can still switch to laptop lid in text mode using ctrl-alt-f1. I loged to my accound, killed sddm service and did a startx, and the kde session shows up correctly on the external monitor and laptop screen goes black.
I was in a meeting so undocked my laptop and by curiosity completely removed the xorg.conf and tried sddm. Even in this simpliest config it fails and the screen goes black after displaying the Nvidia logo (usually I use the No Logo option but as xorg.conf was empty). I got sddm errors in /var/run/sddm.log. It says the greeter can't open the display.
So probably the problem is not the docking and the external monitor. Compared to other working setup with same software stack (legacy 340 nvidia driver), the only thing I can see that differs is the fact that the laptop lid is wired via DisplayPort versus HDMI.
