No, job executor wasn't running and while studying the documentation it wasn't obvious that I had use a job executor when using triggers. I had copied the configuration of a Spring based unit test, which had swith off the job executor. Now, everything is working as expected.

Thanks a lot.

it's required for EVERY timer/asyc functionality… afaik it is in the documentation… configs for unit tests are for unit tests… not production.
