If I understand correctly, the whole setup works OK as soon as ntpq -p
shows me a list of servers, and at least one of them has a little * star
in front of the line (which can take a few minutes to appear).
I'm open for suggestions if there's something wrong with my setup.

Be prepared to wait as long as ten or twelve hours to get really close
synchronization. NTP was never intended for systems running only eight
hours a day. You can be "close" in thirty minutes or less but it takes
many hours to get both close and stable. It also helps to run your
server in a controlled environment; temperature changes will affect your
clock.
