DVTitov - We got a confirmation from engineering team that

So currently we do not have any way to send the direct message to user using Graph API.

Hi!

Example for Go behind that link is outdated, but anyway I cannot use chat API in applications only context.
My application gets Auth token using application secret obtained at Azure. I don't have any user logged in so I can't get Authorization Code.
Hence when I call chat API I get an error: "Chat API not allowed in application only context" (or similar).
