[Thank you for your reply
In this thread  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5548990.msg65563546#msg65563546 it is mentioned that the new version of Electrum cannot sign legacy addresses starting with 1, which is exactly my case.
What could be the solution to this issue?
You can sign an address using legacy address.  You can also see that in the thread.et me quote it.

Electrum can sign with legacy addresses and those signatures can be verified by other wallet software because there's a standard behind it. But when it comes to non-legacy addresses there is no standard signature format so electrum generated signatures can't be verified by other wallet software.
