FWIW the issue happens only if the system is docked.

Plugging in the VGA connector in parallel to the already plugged in DVI-D conenctor after wakeup from s2ram helps as a work around.
In this case then the external monitor shows again the KDE desktop.

After few seconds I can then plug off the VGA connector from the docking station and can continue with my work.
