BTW, I've missed that Ctrl+D behavior also depends on IGNOREEOF.

From https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html

IGNOREEOF

    If set to 1 or less, sending an EOF character (usually Control+D)
    to an interactive session of psql will terminate the
    application. If set to a larger numeric value, that many
    consecutive EOF characters must be typed to make an interactive
    session terminate. If the variable is set to a non-numeric value,
    it is interpreted as 10. The default is 0.
