That's true.
Yet, still we did not answered the question.
If there is no electric field line(s) along the conductor or a
Lorentz force exerted INSIDE the conductor,
then how come that the electrons are drifting along the conductor ?
In order to sharpen the question, I have considered the case of
a zero resistance conductor.
In my opinion, it needs a little bit more than a traditional answer!

From a circuit analyses viewpoint, the answer is trivial.

What you are really asking is why and how does current flow in a conductor.

Yes. I have always thought that the electric field created by
the power source was "pushing" the electrons.
It seems that there is something wrong with this picture of the
process.

I don't see it being an ideal conductor makes any difference in the answer.

Well, it helps, by simplifying the situation.
