Ah, lame.

Generally just re-running won't fix problems that exist.
Perhaps Pastebin the errors, or log everything to a file?
Feel free to send me a PM, or something. I could look a the log to see if i can tell what is going on. But I really don't have any Openelec experience.

My IR receiver is working perfectly but before IR-KEYTABLE will accept IR codes, I have to stop the LIRCD service with "systemctl stop eventlircd.service". No problem, just write an "autostart.sh" script to run this script on boot... Except it doesn't work!

Have you tried recently? It worked OK for me. I had the same problem. I have a machine which dual-boots Windows 10 and LibreELEC and a USB remote receiver which I programmed to generate the C key to get the context menu. On Windows it works, on LibreELEC it did not. However adding "systemctl stop eventlircd.service" to autostart.sh, with a 30 second delay just in case, works fine.
