I would not change the template from the provider.

Dir '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' is empty by default. I would delete all files 
there. $ sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

You have to configure it in either the Debian buster way or the new way since 
Debian bullseye.

Old buster way + (apt-key add) in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main

New bullseye way + (tor-archive-keyring) create a file in the directory:
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' with the name 'tor.list' 
with just one line:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://
deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main


For Buster, you just have to delete the penultimate line:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main
and 
[signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] in the last line
in /etc/apt/sources.list.


Other consideration:
(You must upgrade buster to bullseye, your certificates may still be out of 
date, your tor daemon is running as root!?, etc.)
nusenu gave tips on relay migration a few days ago.
- stop tor, save tor config and the entire datadir
Reinstall bullseye from the provider customer menu
- then copy over tor config and datadir, set the right permissions and let the 
relay run again.

Tomorrow is a workshop from Torproject
