Cross-compile libsrtp to Windows (64-bit) is failing given that OpenSSL can't be found

I am trying to cross-compile libdatachannel to Windows, which depends on libsrtp, using dockcross (more specifically, https://github.com/dockcross/dockcross/tree/master/windows-static-x64) in Ubuntu 20.04. This container image in specific uses MXE together with the x86_64-w64-mingw32 compiler.

OpenSSL (v1.1.1) is also built through this container using the following configuration and build command: (note this is being called from CMake, and so the usage of CMake variables)

# Config
perl <SOURCE_DIR>/Configure mingw64 no-shared no-tests --prefix=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}
# build
RC=/usr/src/mxe/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-windres
AR=/usr/src/mxe/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-ar
RANLIB=/usr/src/mxe/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-ranlib
CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-
make -e RC=${RC} AR=${AR} RANLIB=${RANLIB} CROSS_COMPILE=${CROSS_COMPILE}

The command above runs properly and libcrypto.a and libssl.a are both installed in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib, besides the headers on the ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include folder. Here's the install tree structure:

.
├── bin
│   ├── ...
│   └── openssl.exe
├── include
│   ├── ...
│   └── openssl
│      ├── ...
│      └── ssl.h
├── lib
│   ├── ...
│   ├── libcrypto.a
│   └── libssl.a
...

But, for some reason, libsrtp when calling find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED), fails to find OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY as it can be seen above. Note that OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR had to also be passed as a CMAKE_ARG to build lidatachannel because FindOpenSSL() is was also not able to find openssl/ssl.h, although it is installed in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include. OpenSSL is marked as a dependency of libdatachannel while building through CMake, so I don't necessarily understand why this fails. One thing to note is that MXE sets MSYS to 1, and also since we are using mingw32 to cross-compile,WIN32 and MINGW are also set to 1. If I try to manually set MINGW and WIN32 to 0, then find_package(OpenSSL) succeeds and the build process continues, until the linker fails because the architecture is of course wrong.

This is the error seen:

-- Compiler flags (CMAKE_C_FLAGS):  -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -Wfloat-equal -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wunreachable-code -Winit-self -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unreachable-code -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror

  deps/libsrtp/CMakeLists.txt:75 (find_package)

Is this potentially a problem with the OpenSSL build or even with the default FindOpenSSL.cmake module? Or is this something that can be addressed on libsrtp CMakeLists.txt? Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
