I learned that the nice value actually has to be set via systemd, like
this:
# systemctl edit spamassassin.service
Text editor opens... put there:
[Service]
Nice=15
Save... it is saved to
/etc/systemd/system/spamassassin.service.d/override.conf
Restart service:
# systemctl restart spamassassin.service
or
# service spamassassin restart
or
# /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart
And the priority of the process is now lower (nicer).
