When I started the tor-service a new ed25519_signing_cert and ed25519_signing_secret_key were generated as well as a new fingerprint. The secret_* files still have the old timestamp but new fingerprint had been created.

This happened to me as well this week. I copied over the torrc and keys directory; I thought that was all I needed. But I got a new fingerprint, so the relay is seen as new. Running Tor 0.3.4.8 on freeBSD.
Those files were 'copied' cp-ish ? Copy not cares for ownerships. Tor generates files if tor can not find or can access them. Your original files might be overwritten now.
On Freebsd it should be like: # ls -alo /var/db/tor -rw------- 1 _tor _tor - date/time fingerprint ... more files ... drwx------ 2 _tor _tor - date/time keys # ls -alo /var/db/tor/keys/ -rw------- 1 _tor _tor - date/time secret_onion_key ... more files ...
chown can heal it: # chown -R _tor:_tor /var/db/tor # chown -R _tor:_tor /var/db/tor/keys
I hope I got your points. Please check before you type, it's your world.
