Thank you guys.

The problem solved here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/authuser-returns-null-in-laravel-52

I had to add the stack into middleware directly (not in the group).

in /Http/kernel.php:

protected $middleware = [
    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
    \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
    \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class
];
