Ok, I found where my - stupid - problem was, I hope that this post will help other newbies like me:

the mobile app was working in my local environment because it was pointing directly to alfresco server, even if I had configured it with the FQDN;

in order to make cmis use FQDN you have to modify ../tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties this way:

# Override if using proxy server, change to true
# if true, the context path of OpenCMIS generated urls will be set to "opencmis.context.value", otherwise it will be taken from the request url
opencmis.context.override=false
opencmis.context.value=
# if true, the servlet path of OpenCMIS generated urls will be set to "opencmis.servletpath.value", otherwise it will be taken from the request url
opencmis.servletpath.override=false
opencmis.servletpath.value=
opencmis.server.override=true
opencmis.server.value=https://alfresco.mydomain.com
