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.
