Just want to mention the solution to the problem which I couldn't find in the web.

Finally I checked the index.php file were the .env is initially loaded and found the following lines:

if (!isset($_SERVER['APP_ENV'])) {
  if (!class_exists(Dotenv::class)) {
    throw new \RuntimeException('APP_ENV environment variable is not defined. You need to define environment variables for configuration or add "symfony/dotenv" as a Composer dependency to load variables from a .env file.');
  }
  (new Dotenv())->load(__DIR__.'/../.env');
}

Means that if the env var APP_ENV is already set in the web server config the .env will not be loaded.

So I checked also my nginx config for my website and removed the fpm env config line fastcgi_param APP_ENV "prod";

Now it works.

Hope this helps you, too ;)
