I have a similar problem. When timeout ESP properly restarts, it is running my program, but the AP is still visible. I can connect to the AP. I can not, however, connect with the web: 192.168.4.1.

That is occurring when the esp8266 starts up in dual mode. You can set it to station mode in your code or there is another version of WiFiManager that Selectively Operates In Dual Mode.

Is it enough to add WiFi.mode (WIFI_STA); before ESP.reset ();?

Better to do it at start up like this for the reasons given there.
