Check if you have a spark at the spark plugs,
if you do then it could be fuel pump if you dont check the cam sensor as that stops the fuel pump priming and spark.

If my fuel pump is really dead, it's a very bad new and bad coincidence

Well, the wrong plastic...Nevermind, let's get back to work. Check again the fuse, than swap the two relays under the glove box (yellow and square on my car). If nothing happens the next step is to remove the fuel pump. A 10 minutes job, maybe 15.

In French please Mike, because the google translation is very approximate

Well, not really, it is only because it comes after all this struggle. Keep in mind, bad news always come when you are less prepared for them.
I had a camshaft faulty sensor and a dead fuel pump at the SAME TIME. I almost killed the battery trying to start the engine...when I decided to check the fuel pressure. Here:

Vérifiez si vous avez une étincelle à la bougie, si vous le faites, cela pourrait être la pompe à carburant, si vous n'avez pas d'étincelle, vérifier le capteur de came qui empêche l'amorçage de la pompe à carburant et d'allumage.

And the size of those battery leads? Is the voltage at the terminals sufficient?

Can't you power the pump itself directly, to check delivery?

How does one feed pump directly? Regarding the power cables for the next test, I will use directly the wiring harness.

I checked the fuses and relays but nothing happened.
