Suggestion how to get the desired visual appearance with current tools

A feature request would go to "office-comment" list, see
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#feedback

But the ODF TC will not add a feature to the standard, which is nowhere
implemented. The standard has the "extended" mode, to allow implementors to add
features in addition to that what is available in the current "strict" mode.

To get the quotation marks smaller do this: Mark the quotation mark, then use
Format > Character... On tab "Position" in that dialog, set "Superscript" and
clear "Automatic". Set "Raise/lower by" and "Relative font size" to suitable
values. A relative font size of 70% and a raise by 35% might work for a 2-line
Drop Cap.
To get the line start shifted, so that the character after the quotation mark
is optical in line with the further lines of the paragraph, use a negative
first line indent. That is on tab "Indent&Spacing" in the paragraph style
dialog.
