Solution : we need to set the create element ACL for the guest group in Joomla! Global configuration

I will mark this as INVALID instead of BUG because an ACL element for Guest has existed since Joomla 1.6. Removing it does cause problems in Joomla and it's extensions but that's how Joomla, not my software, works.

Yeah, I start with a bug and (like often) I write the description I found the solution and I want to add here finally is an entry to the documentation ;-)

Reading your issue again I think it's actually something I fixed back in late July: https://github.com/akeeba/engage/commit/bbb907b971ee021dd9851facc8f5fbe19bd5963a

You may want to apply the change from that commit to see if it fixes your problem.
