Sadly no acid test for raconteur (10)

I believe the answer is:

anecdotist

'for raconteur' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'sadly no acid test' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'acid'+'test'='noacidtest'
'noacidtest' with letters rearranged gives 'ANECDOTIST'.

(Another definition for anecdotist that I've seen is " Storyteller".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
