thanks Endre for the pointers but I am still out of luck. The DeadLetter objects I see when I subscribe to the event stream have already "dead-letter" as recipient, so it is impossible to determine if they were a reply to a timed out "ask".
I tried to define a sort of conditional reply, in order to reply to the ask only if the sending actor is not terminated but it did not work. If I am not able to filter out this kind of errors from the dead-letter log, it is useless to look at it.
