Error instantiating chaincode in Hyperledger Fabric 1.4 over AKS kubernetes - kubernetes

Question

I am trying to instantiate "sacc" chaincode (which comes with fabric samples) in an hyperledger fabric network deployed over kubernetes in AKS. After hours trying different adjustments, I've not been able to finish the task. I'm always getting the error:
Error: could not assemble transaction, err proposal response was not
successful, error code 500, msg timeout expired while starting
chaincode sacc:0.1 for transaction
Please note that there is no transaccion ID in the error (I've googled some similar cases, but in all of them, there was an ID for the transaction. Not my case, eventhough the error is the same)
The message in the orderer:
2019-07-23 12:40:13.649 UTC [orderer.common.broadcast] Handle -> WARN
047 Error reading from 10.1.0.45:52550: rpc error: code = Canceled
desc = context canceled 2019-07-23 12:40:13.649 UTC [comm.grpc.server]

"error": "rpc error: code = Canceled desc = context canceled",
"grpc.code": "Canceled", "grpc.call_duration": "6m0.057953469s"}
I am calling for instantiation from inside a cli peer, defining variables CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID, CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE, CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH, CORE_PEER_ADDRESS and ORDERER_CA with appropriate values before issuing the instantiation call:
peer chaincode instantiate -o -n sacc -v 0.1 -c
'{"Args":["init","hi","1"]}' -C mychannelname --tls 'true' --cafile
$ORDERER_CA
All the peers have declared a dockersocket volume pointing to
/run/docker.sock
All the peers have declared the variable CORE_VM_ENDPOINT to unix:///host/var/run/docker.sock
All the orgs were joined to the channel
All the peers have the chaincode installed
I can't see any further message/error in the cli, nor in the orderer, nor in the peers involved in the channel.
Any ideas on what can be going wrong? Or how could I continue troubleshooting the problem? Is it possible to see logs from the docker container that is being created by the peers? how?
Thanks
