A cursory search linked that suspicious EOF error message to libvirtd
crashing. If that's what's happening here, libvirtd could already be
dead while systemd is correctly handling ExecStop=. Does this error
message appear when manually stopping or restarting just
libvirtd.service?

There may be other hints somewhere in the logs. I just don't
understand why yours don't contain or show those "Stopping..."
messages that mine are full of [1]. You are using plain, unaliased
journalctl, right?

Also, focus on getting "systemd {stop,start,restart} libvirt.service"
to work first, without all the extra complexity (and potential races,
and time) of a full shut-down.
