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.
