I think I understand what's going on. The grub2-install command added a new NVRAM entry pointing to grubx64.efi. While you now have the correctly signed grubx64.efi file, the NVRAM entry pointing to it is incorrect, because grubx64.efi is signed with the Fedora key which isn't present in your firmware (normal). The NVRAM entry should either be deleted, or replaced to point to shim.efi which is signed with a Microsoft key, which is in your firmware. Either way then shim.efi will properly execute grubx64.efi.


From the rescue environment (not chrooted), what do you get for

efibootmgr -v

cat /mnt/sysimage/var/log/anaconda/anaconda.program.log | grep efibootmgr
