oh - SRP was indeed turned off. Silly me!
Still I find that the "standard" methods of adding layers in QGIS should
also be provided for the tile servers, such as "Layer management
toolbar" and Menu "Layer --> AddLayer --> Add tile map server layer". I
personally normally don't use the QGIS browser panel and this means that
I can't add tile maps if this panel is not open. Or maybe the xyz tile
map servers could be integrated with the WMS/WMTS layer loading
dialogue?
Thanks for your reply!
