Thanks for the advice!

The problem seems to be elsewhere:

# grep bitcoind /etc/systemd/system/bitcoin.service
Description=bitcoind
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -printtoconsole
# systemctl start bitcoin.service
# pgrep bitcoin || echo failed
failed

# journalctl -u bitcoin.service

Oct 08 13:51:57 lightning systemd[1]: Started bitcoind.
Oct 08 13:52:03 lightning systemd[1]: Started bitcoind.

Now, since normally bitcoind print a line like this:

$ /usr/local/bin/bitcoind
Bitcoin server starting

If systemd is honestly recording the output some line like this should
be found in the syslog since I configured

StandardOutput=syslog+console
StandardError=syslog+console

But syslog simply mentioned this and nothing more:

Oct  8 13:58:52 lightning systemd[1]: Started bitcoind.
