This is something I never met before, this is the content of my /etc/pulse/client.conf, and I can find the /tmp/a.txt after booting up. Maybe this is the root cause of the problem you report, the pulseaudio doesn't start as the 18.10 or 19.04, the pulseaudio still act as the 14.04. Did you upgrade the system from 14.04?
