Make sure numbering is off on paragraph style for a heading.
Create a new custom paragraph style for heading, setting desired Level. Never use the built-in Heading1, Heading2, etc. Create new styles and don't use Inherit from (that's only reliable in odt or Export to PDF, not Save As docx). Each style should be complete.

Never Ever open/edit the EXTRA Save As docx in LO. Only edit the odt file.
Add the docx to Calibre and make an epub2.
Make sure it's set to make a new file at each heading that should be a page break.
Check TOC.

Convert the epub to mobi. We use dual mobi for Smashwords and azw3 for local Kindles.
Firmware from 3.4.3 and later works with azw3.

Only ancient kindles before KK3 (but also DXG) need mobi.
You can't upload mobi to Amazon KDP. That wants epub2.
