Found a solution for this exact problem. You have to manually uninstall the mail app then reinstall it through the windows store. I tried to reset the mail app but that didn't work.
How to uninstall the Mail app on Windows 10
Right-click start button and select Windows PowerShell,
right-click and select Run as administrator.
Copy & Paste: 'Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage'
How to reinstall the Mail app on Windows 10
Open Windows Store and search for Mail and Calendar and click install.
I learned this trick from this video:

Hello! You've done a lot to fix it, but I'll ask what your default browser is Edge and whether your browser account has sync enabled on all related devices with your Microsoft account?

My default browser is Google Chrome, although I do use Edge occasionally (for work, mostly). The syncing is turned on both in Edge and on Chrome.

I also got 2 microsoft accounts connected to my windows (personal and from work).

I think it's a key matter network connections provide browsers and in my opinion badly works Chrome with mail for Windows 10, please try to make a default Edge , and add a new user profile without syncing with any account,

  Deleted I tried this and re-tried all the aforementioned options, but it didn't work. I still can't send e-mails from a Gmail account on the app, although I can normally send them through other non-Gmail accounts on the ap´p. The non-sent e-mails go to the "e-mail outbox" on the app and to the "draft box" on Gmail website, although they appear the formatting is all messed up on the site (with spaces added between each letter - see below).
