Look again, on the Writer 'File' menu for the "Export As" entry. Not the

Thank you, but I have looked already a hundred times.
There are TWO items
* File -> Export ...
* File -> Export as PDF ...
(-> The item "Export as..." is simply not there.)
but nothing else.
and the Export as PDF ... options does NOT seem to have anything related to
epub in it.
As usual, I am probably missing something ...

Even though I'm using an older version on linux, 7.3.7.2, I still get all the
options as shown in the image you referenced. And it displays epub3 by default.
So it's strange that your version doesn't have this.
My W10 box has 7.6.6.3, and it too shows the same image with epub3 selected by
default. To get it, I follow this path: File > Export as > Export as epub ...
and there it is, one of four options - 2 for pdf and 2 for epub.
Curiously, and I hadn't noticed this before, when I use: File > Export ..., I
can see in the file format drop down list an option for export to epub but no
mention of epub3 so I suppose it's epub2.
In the past, before Writer supported a native epub export, we had to install an
extension, Writer2xhtml, which used to work well. In those days, we accessed it by
File > Export .... and in the resulting dialog box, select file format from the
drop down list { for example: EPUB3 [Writer2xhtml] (.epub) }.
I gave up using this because the extension didn't seem to be maintained for
later versions of LO. But I also wasn't impressed with the native Writer epub
export either so I now use Sigil with its input extension for importing .odt
files. This is my preferred work flow these days. With Sigil, you retain
complete control and if you've set up the styles well in Writer, they come out
ok in Sigil. Sigil is a free software tool available for Windows, linux, Mac
(both Intel and arm versions). But like with most things in life, there is a
learning curve.
Another way you could try is to export your document from Writer as a Word
.docx and then let Draft2Digital's converter take the strain.
