How does the node react if all peers have standard minrelaytxfee? Keep it in its pool and periodically try to send it? Or does it try to connect to peers with low minrelaytxfee?

For some reason I always have peers that broadcast transaction with lower fees. Without even hardcoding any. You could force the connection to some specific peers if you want to make sure. I think transactions in the mempool are not rebroadcasted by default.

What is the unit of that setting?
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33106
seems to agree that minrelaytxfee=100 means 0.1 sat/vB.
With minrelaytxfee=100 I see
[warning] -minrelaytxfee is set very high! The wallet will avoid paying less than the minimum relay fee.
Edit: and Electrum shows error 'min relay fee not met' when trying to publish a 0.3 sat/b transaction (through electrumpersonalserver).

Yeah the units are a bit weird: BTC/kvB.
This is my conf. The second one is to raise data limits already, but this is more controversial nowadays.
# relay settings
# min relay fee of 0.01 sat/vB
minrelaytxfee=0.0000001
datacarriersize=1000000

I now set mine to
# in BTC/vkB, so 0.1 sat/vB is 0.000001
minrelaytxfee=0.000001
and successfully made a transaction with 0.3 sat/b in Electrum!

But it doesn't reach the miners or doesn't get picked... Not visible on blockchain explorer, either. Seems like it doesn't propagate.

Some miners don't pick transactions under 1 sat/vb.
You can check if at least it propagated through the network. Checking https://mempool.space or similar.
