Okay I can mark this as solved. The problem was that in
mythtv-backend.service there are several options for Environment. Now
mine are commented out. Before the first one was uncommented. Probably
an assumption I made wrong when setting it up.
#Environment=MYTHCONFDIR=/etc/mythtv
# Default setting assumes a system wide install. Otherwise it should be
set to
# the folder containing the .mythtv subfolder containing the config.xml
file
# Such as
#Environment=HOME=/usr/share/mythtv
# or
#Environment=HOME=/~/.mythtv
