I think I found the problem. I'm a little embarrassed but I didn't
notice before that the axle is bent and one of the bearing surfaces is
a bit rough.

That will do it. Bent rear axles are very common with non-cassette-style
wheels. If you ever upgrade to a cassette hub, it's unlikely you'll see a
bent (and later broken) axle again.
