It was my error. I think the issue was that my 'torrc' file was taken from an earlier version of the TBB.
Installing the latest version again (even though I was already using 9.0.4) with a new 'torrc' allows me to set ExitNodes 'whatever' and the TBB does stick to that exitnode. Thank you for your advice and time.
