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.

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.

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!

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.
