Thanks a lot for all the help. I now have a working solution that looks
like this:

1. Move the setup from ext_typoscript_setup.txt to static/setup.txt

2. If we are in the BE, access the setup like this:

// On the back end, we need to create our own template setup.
$template = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_TStemplate');
// do not log time-performance information
$template->tt_track = 0;
$template->init();

// Get the root line
$sys_page = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_pageSelect');
// the selected page in the BE is found
// exactly as in t3lib_SCbase::init()
$rootline = $sys_page->getRootLine(intval(t3lib_div::_GP('id')));

// This generates the constants/config + hierarchy info for the template.
$template->runThroughTemplates($rootline, 0);
$template->generateConfig();

$this->conf = $template->setup['plugin.']['tx_'.$this->extKey.'.'];


(I could have used $this->id instead of intval(t3lib_div::_GP('id')) as
well.)

Greets,
