I solved the problem!

It's completely unrelated to Asterisk. XLite does not support multiple
accounts: I must have misinterpreted the meaning of the list of different
proxies that can be found under "SIP".

As I already had a setting for use inside the office LAN, I wanted to
leave it untouched; therefore I was adding more configurations in the
next configuration entry points (Proxy 1, Proxy 2, etc).

As soon as I simply edited the first configuration I got online in no time.

So for any reason XLite seems either to have a bug with multiple
configurations or just not support more than one different extension.

(ok to me: it's a free 'lite' version; I can't really complain!)

In the end I will simply get into my office extension over IAX2.
Fine enough...
