OK, so after re-booting, the xastir device port works.  Did you put a
script similar to your ax25.up in /etc/init.d/ as shown in the wiki?
If yes, then you are done - no need to run ax25.up manually before
starting xastir.  The script in etc/init.d is designed to
automatically set up the ax25 interface instead of using ax25.up.

If you do not have a start-up script in /etc/init.d, I suspect your
xastir device port is not ax25 given it appears to be working without
the ax25 interface being set up.

My ax25 interface in Xastir looks like this in the interface control box:

Device  1     UP     AX25 TNC aprs
