Question

Answer 1

As @mariodcm says, the problem is related to Security Policies. He pointed me to the solution. To make long history short:

Found out that it was blocked by the following policy: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\security\promptoomsend

The key was set to 0 = Automatically Deny. Changing the key to 2 = Automatically Approve solved the problem.
