Hello Andrei! After some unsuccessful tests, my battery discharged at a level that the esc was not being triggered. Today I recharged it and followed the procedures you mentioned above.
I sent a PWM signal using pigpiod node for the maximum thrust (100), and then I connected the ESC to the Power supply. After two seconds, I sent a signal for minimum thrust (0) and I've heard the final "bip" from the motor. After that the motor was ready to work!!!
Check the nodes I used here:

I'm attaching here the video where I calibrate the ESC and put the motor to work:
