That could be due to localization. In that case, you should also set TitleResource property:
field.TitleResource.SetValueForUICulture(new CultureInfo(1033), "My title");
Actually, I've done renaming of Title plenty of times, and I can't see any difficulties there. Your SchemaXml approach probably didn't work for the same localization reason.

It is because SharePoint Multilingual User Interface (MUI) translates also column titles. What you did was that you overrode the default English MUI translation of the Title field to "title123".

What worked for me was to not use SetValueForUICulture() but instead set the title ...

I would suggest to rather execute your code in the ItemAdded. Do not try to re-create another item inside, you just need to execute the code at the appropiate moment.
Make sure you read this article to understand when the AfterProperties has values populated as it is different from List to Library and for each Event ...
