I2C on eUSCI_B/MSP430FR5739 never fires interrupts while accessing sensor - i2c

Question

I have three INA226 current sensors connected to eUSCI_B, P1.6 and P1.7, on an MSP430FR5739 microcontroller.
My I2C write addr code gives just one NACKIFG, and then forever hangs. On the scope the signals look nearly perfect square, no overshoot and the rise and fall time is 10-20x less than pulse with time of a clock. I use 2k2 Pullups. The wires are about 8cm all together on a PCB.
Previously I even did not manage to get any interrupt, by moving the "UCB0IE |= UCNACKIE | ..." code outside of the UCWRST area, I at least got this one.
#include "i2c.h"
#include "main.h"
#include "uart.h"
#include "ina226.h"

unsigned char TXData[] ={0, 0, 0, 0}; // Pointer to TX data
unsigned char TXByteCtr=0;
unsigned char TXByteCnt=0;
unsigned char RXByteCnt=0;
volatile unsigned int RXWord=0;
void init_i2c() {
P1SEL1 |= (BIT7 | BIT6);
P1SEL0 &= ~(BIT7 | BIT6);
uart_puts("I2C initialized\n\r");
}
void i2c_write_addr(unsigned int addr, unsigned char byte) {
UCB0CTL1 = UCSWRST; // Enable Module Reset
UCB0CTL0 |= UCMODE_3 | UCMST; // I2C, Master mode, ACLK 12MHz
UCB0CTL1 |= UCSSEL__ACLK;
UCB0BRW = 120;//200; //15; // 24MHz/240 = 100kHz Clock, 24MHz/60 = 400kHz
UCB0I2CSA = addr;
UCB0CTLW1 = UCASTP_2; // Automatic stop and interrupt, reduce deglich to 25 ns
UCB0CTLW0 |= UCTR; //Tranciever
UCB0TBCNT = 1;
UCB0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST;
UCB0IE |= UCNACKIE | UCTXIE0 | UCRXIE | UCBCNTIE | UCNACKIE | UCSTTIE | UCSTPIE;
TXData[0] = byte;
TXByteCtr = 1; // Load TX byte counter
while (UCB0CTL1 & UCTXSTP); // Ensure stop condition got sent
