$ cat minimal-config.el
(setq user-emacs-directory "/tmp/temp-emacs-home")
(ignore-errors (delete-directory user-emacs-directory t))
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'slime)
(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
(slime)
$ emacs -Q -l minimal-config.el

This works for me. Can you try that?

HTH,
