Django LogoutView does not emit user_logged_out signal

I have an app that does not receive the user_logged_out signal that, in theory, should have been sent by LogoutView.

urls.py:

...
   path('accounts/logout/',
      auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='registration/logout.html'),
         name='logout'),
...

myapp/signals.py

from django.contrib.auth import user_logged_out
from django.dispatch import receiver


@receiver(user_logged_out)
def extra_logout(sender, request, user, **kwargs):
    # does some stuff

myapp/apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig

class MyappConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'myapp'

    def ready(self):
        import myapp.signals
        return super().ready()

Note that myapp is loaded, everything else works. The django session is destroyed when calling accounts/logout/, but my receiver never gets the signal.

What am I doing wrong?

Django 2.2.3, Python 3.7.3 on mac.

Just tried with your code and the missing part could be the default_app_config = 'myapp.apps.MyappConfig' line in the __init__.py file in myapp folder. Please check with that and see if it works.
