Indeed! I find an older org-version (7.x) in /usr/share/emacs. I have now changed the order in the load-path-list to load the local installations first. After reading the things on the list an on worg on "mixed installations" I'm not sure if I might delete the org-subdirectory in /usr/share/emacs. So I leave it untouched  and hope that the changed order of the load paths will do the trick.

At any rate, I've now been able to set the org-export-with-smart-quotes variable and to adjust org-export-smart-quotes-alist. The latter didn't work at first, only after putting it into 
 (eval-after-load 'ox ...).

Now everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help!

When you install from ELPA, leave load-path alone (remove any
alterations in respect to Org or any other package installed via ELPA),
but you must make sure that:

1) The original Org installation that comes with Emacs must not be
loaded in any way when you install from ELPA.  This is most easily done
by doing the install from "emacs -Q", although you may then need to set
up package manager in that session.

2) After installation, the first thing in your init script should be
(package-initialize) so that customization of Org variables doesn't
auto-load the old version that came with Emacs.  You shouldn't require
anything from Org, but if you still want to, it must be after
package-initialize.

#1 was at fault. I just deleted my ELPA installation of Org and reinstalled it as  decribed by Achim. Now everything's fine.
Thanks, Salome
