Replying to myself... I didn't yet completely understand chrony. With 
rtcfile config option chrony saves real time clock parameters to adjust 
the system clock when the system has been powered down. It doesn't tell 
chrony to adjust the real time clock itself.

The "trimrtc" command does this and this one works with the kernel module 
genrtc. Well lets see whether I find a way to tell chrony to do that 
regularly - it really makes sense to me. Otherwise a chrony job will have 
to do that job.

Best would be to have a out of box solution, but it I fiddled around with 
it long enough, so I can apply just another fix so that is works as I - 
and IMHO any user - would expect it to.
