What facility is used by tor when logging to syslog? I didn't find that information.
It looks like the default is 'daemon', as you expected. It is changeable via a ./configure option, but debian doesn't seem to touch it.
System is a standard current debian 8.6 with tor Tor 0.2.8.8 (git-8d8a099454d994bd), the two Log-Lines are:
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log Log notice syslog
Any idea what might be missing?
Those lines work for me. You could try sharing a minimal example syslog config that doesn't seem to be working; maybe something's weird with that? You could also maybe 'strace' tor during startup to see if it looks like some log-related syscalls are failing. But be careful with retaining or sharing any such trace, since I assume there can be some sensitive info in there.
