Since the 114 uA I measured are close to the typical "operating
current" of 180 uA (whatever operation that may mean), I still have
some hopes that I simply didn't get the switch to sleep mode right.

Those things need experimenting. Sometimes, the lowest power state
of a chip is when it's held in reset, sometimes not. Sometimes, you
get the lowest leakage if a pin is driven high/low, sometimes if
it's floating. These things don't always follow clear rules.

Or a bigger battery ;-) Yes, a battery test is of course necessary.
The lab supply is very quick to stop excessive current but emulating
the battery's (undocumented) internal resistance would be more
difficult.
