Yes, it's the base OpenSSL. Is this a known limitation or a bug in the base
OpenSSL or do I use it wrongly?

Until now, I have avoided installing the OpenSSL port because the base
OpenSSL gets security updates via freebsd-update and so it's one thing less
to care about... also, I don't like the idea of having two different
versions of the same thing on the system (because some applications might
use the one versions, others the second one, and then it's quite difficult
to find the bugs).

Or is it recommended to let ports use the port OpenSSL, so that base OpenSSL
is only used for the system itself?

And thanks for your help! I wouldn't have had the idea that base OpenSSL vs.
port OpenSSL could be the cause of the problem.
