But in 7.2 is also mentioned that for such products the test shall be done in a similar way as for grounded products but without adding any additional
external grounded
connections.

That is completely consistent with the following sentence, which is what I quoted.

And that is physically correct as I think. Also without PE connection of the product itself the common mode surge tests with 2kV will stress the L to N input of the product with more than the 1kV of the differential test. And exactly this happened and damaged the power supply.

Which common-mode surge tests do you mean? The phrase 'common-mode' isn't in the standard, and I would expect a common mode test to be applied between (L and N connected together) and earth, so the L-N path wouldn't be stressed at all.
