How to restart mobile network without restarting device?

(edit; fixed the log to look better and added a log from working case...)
Once in a while my XperiaX loses mobile network and os not able to reconnect, similarily as removing and reinserting simcard. My sw version is 3.1.0.11 and I vaguely remember it used to be possible to resgart networking simply by activating and deactivating airplane mode...
Restarting ofono does not help, so I wonder what ks the proper way to restart the whole network stack like from poweroff state but keeping the device fully powered all the time?

I think, I am hit by this problem, too: Xperia X with version 3.1.0.11, mobile turns off and can't be reanabled.
This question is about restarting mobile data. Is there a more general question about this issue "Jolla, please fix this specific bug", too? I would like to vote for it.
It is good, to be able to "repair mobil data", if it is broken. But it would be way better, if the device would repair itself automatically. I don't want to check and manually repair "mobile data" every hour. But I don't want to miss chat messages, too.
