OK, now it works. Thanks.
it is very sensitive. not only must the hotlist entry be exactly
sftp://hostname without trailing /
but also, .ssh/config line must not contain host alias:

Host	myserver.com	foo.myserver.com


>> also, can mc use pubkey authentication as defined in .ssh/config ?

but now I have different problem:

pubkey authentication does not work, because mc and the server cannot
agree on a key algorithm:

  sshd: debug1: list_hostkey_types:
rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ssh-ed25519 [preauth]
  sshd: debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent [preauth]
  sshd: debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received [preauth]
  sshd: debug1: kex: algorithm: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
[preauth]
  sshd: debug1: kex: host key algorithm: (no match) [preauth]
  sshd: Unable to negotiate with 178.255.75.22 port 36626: no matching
host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss [preauth]
  sshd: debug1: do_cleanup [preauth]
