Actually, instead of creating file for each username I included
these options in main config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:

chroot_local_user=YES
local_root=/home/ftp

Now it works as I expected: both anonymous & local users are
chrooted to /home/ftp and can enter any sub-directory, but
local users can upload files to /home/ftp/$USER (homedirs
where they have write permission).

I did not test this, but it might work too. The only drawback
is I'd have to edit /etc/passwd always when I add new user.

Problem solved, thank you for help...
