1 and 2 are in place, working and readable. Lo makes no difference - I have 
tried with both, up and down.

However, after some more hours of trying I have found a fix in this way: just 
commented the line (in my.cnf):
#bind-address            = 127.0.0.1

This makes mysql start and listen:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3306            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

I have not yet had time to see if everything works :) but at least it doesn't 
give errors at startup...
