Bingo!
I had to unmount the boot partition (being in Troubleshooting mode), run the above command, which provided a new UUID and at last the partition was recognized as xfs. (I forgot to copy the output to paste here.)
I then mounted the boot partition again, chrooted, grub2-install'ed successfully, exited and rebooted.
The VM started booting, seemingly well, but after some time it took me to emergency mode. ("Give root password for maintenance or type Ctrl-D to continue.")
I'll have to check that tomorrow... I need some sleep now (it's after midnight over here - in Athens, Greece).
[Perhaps I should have manually edited /etc/fstab as well to enter the new UUID?]
Anyway, that was a good progress! Thanks for your great cooperation.
I'll keep you updated. Cheers, Nick
