Even though glGetString (GL_EXTENSIONS) call says the extension is present 

GL version:   OpenGL ES 3.0 Apple A8 GPU - 95.58
GL vendor:    Apple Inc.
GL renderer:  Apple A8 GPU
GLSL version: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
GLSL extensions:

  2 > GL_KHR_texture_compression_astc_ldr
  3 > GL_EXT_color_buffer_half_float
  4 > GL_EXT_debug_label

it seems the shader ignores level parameter in textureLod call. The visual result is the same as with texture. I checked it with renderdoc and the texture has generated mipmaps. The mag filtering mod also uses LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR. Also, I'm sure the level parameter is correct.

Also, shader compilation fails when I insert this statement in the beginning #extension GL_EXT_shader_texture_lod : require (with #version 300 es). With #version 100 and with the extension compilation succeeded.

I did not try switching to #version 100 completely, I'm not sure if it works.

My question is why I can't compile 300 es shader with the texture_lod extension even though it is present on the device?

... because it's an extension specifically targeting OpenGL ES ES 2.x shaders (#version 100).

Support for textureLod() is core profile in OpenGL ES 3.x ESSL #version 300 so you don't need the extension ...

You could try put #extension GL_EXT_shader_texture_lod : enable in shader, it works here.
