If I understand the theory correctly, this is
because the cable is too tight, and you should
turn the barrel in (clockwise) to make it more
slack. This actually worked, but how can it
happen that the cable is too tight suddenly?
Shouldn't it be more loose rather?

Your inner cable gets stuck somewhere. Easy to investigate problem. Just look. Remove the cable from the RD and shift while tension the cable by hand. Ignore lube suggestions.

But he said that turning the adjuster barrel in (clockwise) cure his problem. Thus he does not have a sticking cable. He wants to know why the cable suddenly got tighter than it was before.

I think that perhaps the housing somewhere popped out of a ferrule and is sitting on top of it rather than in it.
