npm install of angular project does not work (ECONNREFUSED on downloading xmlbuilder)

I'm trying to clone one of my angular projects freshly. In order to make it work I have to do an npm install, which worked at some time. But now it fails with the following error:

npm install
npm ERR! code ECONNREFUSED    
npm ERR! syscall connect

I have no proxy configured, nor do I need one. In fact he downloaded some packages until this error appears:

https-proxy = null
proxy = null
registry = "http://registry.npmjs.org/"

I've tried to install it manually, it works without problems.

npm install xmlbuilder

I've tried this as admin and elevated. No success.

So why isn't it installed as dependency? Where does he get this localhost:8080 address from? There is definitely no server listening.

Found the problem. For any reason these localhost:8080 was set at some lines in package-lock.json. Deleting node_modules and package-lock.json made npm install work again.
