Thank you for your answer.
I don't want to mass mail. We will have some dozens of users when it's going productive.

So that means I need an Exchange Online license?
A Mail Contact or Mail User isn't working?
Hi Udo,
I understand what you are trying to do as I've had to send emails externally myself from within a workflow. Unfortunately the only thing I was able to do (without creating an actual account for each person) was to create an ASP.NET Web API and send a HTTPS request with the details of the email.
From there the API sent the email and indicated in the response back to the workflow that it was successfully sent.
Managed to get it working this way, but it did require some custom code so may not be ideal. By default it seems a workflow can only send emails to internal users setup in Exchange/AD/SharePoint
