Answer 1

You don't need any commit, since explicit DML operations are not performed for these operations. And using begin..end blocks not needed for every method invoking, either.

Your issue stems from the fact the neccessity of invoking Dbms_Network_Acl_Admin.Add_Privilege method with privilege => 'connect' option also. So you can use the following :

BEGIN
  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL(
                                    acl         => 'apex_user.xml',
                                    description => 'access to apex email',
                                    principal   => 'DBUSER',
                                    is_grant    => TRUE,
                                    privilege   => 'connect',
                                    start_date  => SYSTIMESTAMP,
                                    end_date    =>Null
                                    );
  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
                                       acl       => 'apex_user.xml',
                                       principal => 'DBUSER',
                                       is_grant  => true,
                                       privilege => 'connect'
                                       );

  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
                                       acl       => 'apex_user.xml',
                                       principal => 'DBUSER',
                                       is_grant  => true,
                                       privilege => 'resolve'
                                       );


  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL(
                                    acl         => 'apex_user.xml',
                                    host        => 'smtp.gmail.com',
                                    lower_port  =>587,
                                    upper_port  =>587
                                    );
 END;

With the following query all privileged accesses could be checked ( through SYS or SYSTEM schemas ):

select a.host,p.*
  from dba_network_acl_privileges p
  join dba_network_acls a on a.aclid = p.aclid
 order by a.host, p.principal, p.privilege;
