For everyone who have the same problem here is my solution to solve the problem:

look if you have an dynamic_settings.yml file in your canvas/config directory. If you do not have one than copy the example file which might be in the canvas/config/dynamic_settings.yml.example. Rename that file to dynamic_settings.yml. If you do not have that file in the canvas/config you can also get that file from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instructure/canvas-lms/master/config/dynamic_settings.yml.example Copy the file and paste in at canvas/config.

That LTI1.3 was working for me I have to change the word development: to production: inside the dynamic_settings.yml file.

After that restart your web server. For Apache use: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Here is another post fom the canvas forum that describe how to solve this problem. So credits to @ttiole

To get this working costs me 2 Weeks.

Hope this helps someone.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Without this issue coming up in the search engine I would have spent countless hours debugging this. Instead I fixed the issue in a few minutes. We were missing the dynamic_settings.yml file.
