UPDATE:
The problem is now a bit more clear to me:
It looks like that Outlook has someone associated the university account with the office license. Under "File" is shows "Office Account" instead of "Account", which basically means that even though I have my personal license activated, it is still somehow connected with the university account.
Any idea on how to completely remove those settings and license associations? I have signed out already.

there must be a way on how to fully reset outlook to factory defaults. thanks for help again
