I have tried it with enabling PLAIN and LOGIN, nothing changed. If I
remove PLAIN and have only LOGIN, the Outlook client exits immediately,
stating that the server does not offer a mechanism supported by Outlook
- so this will not be the problem, either.

Btw., with IMAP, Outlook sends "AUTH PLAIN" without any problem...

I don't believe Outlook handles PLAIN, I believe it needs to be LOGIN
(or NTLM if that's checked in the client), so try modifying your
dovecot.conf file and add that to the mechanisms parameter.
