Still no clou after a lot of more tweaking, experimenting and trial and error. Updating the theme (child or not) did not help.
Since a three-level menu option is quite substantial for a website consisting of several hundreds of static information pages and about 30k visitors per month (numbers applicable to the crappy site to be replaced), we decided to change strategy. The crossed fingers every time we updated WordPress awaiting what random thing will break our ancient theme from 2012 this time were a bummer. ColorMag Free impressed us sufficient, so we got ourselves a nice license for ColorMag Pro, ensuring a WordPress update never will break the theme again.
And as an unexpected side catch, Pro fixed the menu issue of this topic as well.
Quite a hammer, but with more strategic considerations behind it, for now this thread may be considered as eh.. collateral solved by mitigation. 🙂

Thanks for the quick response. It is appreciated, and definately because I am just a ‘free plan’ user.
Your screenshot is exactly showing what I desire, but the setup over here it boldly refuse to show that third level. This morning I made a child theme to secure the custom CSS and tweaks in the main stylesheet and after that I updated the theme. This apparently solved the issue for the part of the main header menu, but not for the side menus. So it points somewhat in the direction of a relation with custom CSS tweaks I made in the stylesheet. Perhaps the offset by means of margins or padding of the words shown in the side menu layout somewhere stumble upon a minimum with and fail graceful.. or something like that. No clou whether that makes sense.
Since I made the tweaks in the stylesheet of the colormag theme without first having made a child theme, I can still try what happens when I overwrite the CSS with a fresh unchanged one as delivered with a clean installation of Colormag.
For now, problem not solved but still some homework to do.
