Abridged. Eclipsing spectroscopic double-lined binaries are the prime source of precise and accurate measurements of masses and radii of stars. These measurements provide a stringent test of models of stellar evolution that are persistently reported to contain major shortcomings. The mass discrepancy observed for the eclipsing spectroscopic double-lined binaries is one of the manifestations of shortcomings in stellar evolution models. Our ultimate goal is to provide an observational mapping of the mass discrepancy and propose a recipe for its solution. We initiate a spectroscopic monitoring campaign of 573 candidate eclipsing binaries of which 83 are analysed in this work with the methods of least-squares deconvolution and spectral disentangling. TESS light curves are used to provide photometric classification of the systems according to the type of their intrinsic variability. We confirm 69 systems as either spectroscopic binaries or higher-order multiple systems. Twelve stars are classified as single and two more objects are found at the interface of their line profile variability being interpreted as due to binarity and intrinsic variability of the star. Moreover, 20 eclipsing binaries are found to contain at least one component that exhibits stellar oscillations. The sample presented in this work contains both detached and semi-detached systems and covers a range in the effective temperature and mass of the star of Teff = [7000,30000] K and M = [1.5,15] M_Sun, respectively. We conclude an appreciable capability of the spectral disentangling method to deliver precise and accurate spectroscopic orbital elements from as few as 6-8 orbital phase-resolved spectroscopic observations. Orbital solutions obtained this way are accurate enough to deliver age estimates with accuracy of 10% or better, an important resource for calibration of stellar evolution models.
