I tried powering on the system with a screen already plugged in. In this case, the BIOS takes the external screen as primary, the boot sequence is visible there, and when starting X, the laptop's internal display becomes the primary, showing the desktop and panel, BUT in this case, the external screen does work as expected. So the issue apparently happens only when plugging in the external display on-the-fly.
