Thank you for explanation, I will take it into account,
but in my case I was disturbed by setting tw=78 that happened
not in vim.vim but in my local .vimrc (in the part of it that
remained from the original .vimrc that has been installed
by default, sorry to accept it). Somehow and sometimes it
overided the settings I set in a ~/.vim/ftplugin/myfiletype.vim

I have found out it due to the
:verbose set tw
tip from this thread.

P.S. Just now had a look into my ~/.vimrc again.
Now the corresponding line looks like
autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=0
It is very similar to that was proposed by Christian.
