- <sup>I figured out an answer after posting the question for a while. I would like to record it here.</sup>

- The problem with the mentioned argument is that one attempted to prove the continuity of $g$ at one point $[x]$ using merely the continuity of $f$ at $x$ instead of using the global continuity of $f$ on $X$.
- One way that I figured out to save the mentioned argument is that one should exploit the fact that $\pi^{-1}(g^{-1}(V))=f^{-1}(V)$, which, of course, could have been used in the simple proof via continuity of functions between topological spaces.

Proof. Define $g:X/{\sim}$ as in the standard proof. Without loss of generality, suppose $U$ is an _open_ neighborhood of $g([x])$. Then $g^{-1}(U)$ is an open neighborhood of $[x]$ in $X/\sim$ because of the identity above and continuity of $f$. Since $g(g^{-1}(U))\subset U$, we have shown that $g$ is continuous at $[x]$. Since $[x]$ is arbitrary, the proof is complete.

Then $\pi^{-1}(g^{-1}(U))=f^{-1}(U)$ is open by the continuity of $f$ and thus $g^{-1}(U)$ is an open neighborhood of $[x]$ in $X/\sim$ by the definition of quotient topology. Since $g(g^{-1}(U))\subset U$, we have shown that $g$ is continuous at $[x]$. Since $[x]$ is arbitrary, the proof is complete.
