Tryed to follow your workaround.
Under the steam installation folder there is no profiles directory.
Checked the usual suspects out and found the sneaky bugger hiding at :-
C:\Users\username\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin
there is a profile dir there, no actual .xml files but .lsx (in xml format)
inputBinding.lsx the only semi related file I could find however it only contains keyboard bindings and none for mouse.
EDIT:- I have a steam version.
