Do you invoke the (chronyc) "trimrtc" command? (If this works, you
probably want to "writertc" as well.)
Does your computer have a way to get IP addresses of external NTP servers
when chronyd starts (even if the network is down)? I believe that
otherwise chronyd forgets about those servers and never tries to contact
them.
