Sending an event to Google Analytics doesn't work

In the header of every page I have the following integration code from Google Analytics:

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-1"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-1');
</script>

XXXXXXXXX is obviously replaced with our ID.

In the footer of a page where contact form exists, I have placed the following code:

document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
    ga( 'send', {
        hitType: 'event',
        eventCategory: 'contact-form',
        eventAction: 'contact-form-submission-mailsent',
        eventLabel: 'Contact CTA'
    });
});

The listener works well, and has been tested with console.log after a successful submit. However, no event is visible in Google Analytics under "Behavior" -> "Events". There are no other customizastion in Google Analytics, it is pretty basic.

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

You can't mix Universal Analytics code and gtag code. If you have in head gtag snippet, you have to use its syntax for send an event:

gtag('event', <action>, {
  'event_category': <category>,
  'event_label': <label>,
  'value': <value>
});
