@Walt74: thanks for so much help
@MetalChris: I uninstalled iTunes; I executed als the extra terminal commands (rm -rf /Library/iTunes and so on).
I don't see anything from iTunes anymore, but after every booting of the mini, my Harmony remote doesn't work: I have to quit kodi and then restart Kodi and then everything is OK. So I still need my mouse...
Now i think my problem is caused by kodi...

Riji,
Are you using the Plex remote settings for the harmony ? if not i strongly suspect the the harmony behaving as a pure apple remote can trigger iTunes......

I'm back to nowhere: yesterday there was an update of iTunes (which I already installed recently before removing iTunes and which I could only postpone to the next day) and then at the initial launch of iTunes I tryed "disagree" with the conditions: I received this message after every reboot.
So still the same misery: after every reboot of the mini, first exit kodi, quit iTunes and restart kodi.
If there is really no way to overcome, I will have to go for a dual boot with OpenELEC; maybe someone has a reference how I can make this easy.
It must be a dual boot system from harddisk and not from a USB flash drive, because OS X will not just accept a flash drive as the first bootable device and ... from the sofa everything should can be performed easily with the remote.

Tonight iTunes was back in the way...
I've been thinking: maybe with an apple script compiled as an app so that I can have it run on booting the mac, I have a way out.
I ever made just one apple script, but what I found here and there on the web, I come to something like this:
tell application "kodi.app"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
get name of every process Whose name is "iTunes"
if result is not {} then
tell application "iTunes"
quit
end tell
else
tell application "iTunes"
activate
delay 2
quit
end tell
end if
end tell
tell application "kodi.app"
quit
delay 4
end tell
tell application "kodi.app"
activate
end tell
Update:
I saved the script as an app and have it run on booting (login).
I have tried out the app and it's working, now see a few days if it stays OK....

I would not go for a scripted solution. If i where you i would go for a clean OSX install, it takes some time, but looking for a work-around for this problem is also taking a lot of time.
This is very strange behavior of iTunes, i am running on the same setup since 2011 without these problems.
IMO the way to go
reinstall a fresh OSX
remove ituneshelper from startup
install candleair
install kodi
setup kodi

Thanks Wal74 for you're on going help.
As long as my solution does the job I stay with it, I have been troubled more than enough.
