Dear Michela,
These are great news! You may try to reduce the print level again to have a 
less verbose CP2K. I guess that the missing restart file is related to CP2K 
aborting before finishing the first optimization step. You will need to 
employ PERIODIC XYZ instead of PERIODIC XY. I am not sure which Poisson 
solver implements stress tensors with PERIODIC XY.
Best,
Frederick
