I finally got those 5 relays working.!
 For some mystery reason these (5) must be controlled in open drain mode, 
while the others (11) work in normal digital output mode.
BUT: open drain mode does not work in pins 31-46, I changed i to use pins 
6,10-13 and now everyhting is ok.
Is it so that open drain mode is functional only in "circle" pins (that are 
also 5V tolerant) ? 
I think that all 16 relays work in open drain mode, but there might not be 
enough open draiin capable pins
