You were right; there was a minuscule piece of wire strand between two contacts and after removing it all is fine now.
Also checked all the radio's again which is easy now I have a working configuration and there was indeed one defective radio module.
Thanks everyone for unblocking me!

No, it did not work as expected. It could not provide enough power for my application. I ended up buying a more powerful setup (10W solar panel + included controller/BMS) with 4 Li-Ion cells and a 3V3 step down converter.
@electrik : downgrading the board definition to 1.0.0 worked. I can now build the ESP32 gateway.
However, I'm not quite there yet, because I get an endless series of "Brownout detector" messages:

I have the wireless gateway and Mosquitto running and now I can see the temperature readings coming into node-RED, nicely decoded through mysdecode.
Thanks everyone for these amazing frameworks!
Thank you for your setup example. It is nearly identical to my setup (only I use RFM69HW's).
The only thing I can think of now is that the radio modules must be defective, but I have no means to test this) So I ordered a new batch of RFM69's and hope for the best...
[Edit]
I see that you do not use the following defines as instructed in link text:
#define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1
#define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN
#define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8
I have tried both with and without these defines, but it makes no difference.
