Update. As it seems that my wordpress instance does not have the 'wp_' prefix on most of the database tables, it was 3 new lines in the updated /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php that caused the problem:

if (!isset($table_prefix)) {
    $table_prefix = 'wp_';
}

The fix was to restore the wordpress database from backup and then add one line, setting $table_prefix to '' in my site's /etc/wordpress/config-default.php where the database passwords are.

$table_prefix = '';

And then run the Automatic Updater normally:
