You have dnscrypt proxy running on port 53, which is preventing pihole-FTL from binding to that port.

[humbfig]

Well, the line "listen_addresses 127.0.0.1:54" was commented in the dnscrypt configuration. I don't remember writing a # on that line. It had just been working for a few days....
Anyway, all is working now, encrypting and filtering.
And I feel embarrassed......

thanks!
