Hey Cezary,
sorry I misread your initial question. I thought you where referring to the
(probably bigger problem) of getting the commitment transaction to be mined
because RBF does not work. But if we assume that your channel partner
published an outdated commitment transaction which got mined then you can
claim (both) outputs (your node should do this automatically) with this
penalty transaction. This penalty transaction is spending the outputs of
the commitment transaction and is signed with your nodes private key.
Therefor as far as I know you should be able to RBF this penalty
transaction. Also I believe you understand the process correctly.
Actually since the timelock on the commitment transaction will at some
point in time be over (in which case also your channel partner can spend
their output) you have an economic incentive to quickly get the penalty
transaction minded by using rather high fees or in case at this time really
a lot of transactions come in to RBF. I currently see no reason why you
could not RBF the penalty transaction. In case I oversee something I am
sure someone here on the list will correct me.
best regards Rene
