Found the solution. Partly a stupid mistake. I forgot to call
SaveChanges, for my excuse: it is not mentioned in the article above.
And the setting the PR_RTF_IN_SYNC to false is crucial to make outlook
convert the plain text to RTF.

mapi_object.SetProps([(PR_RTF_IN_SYNC, 0)])
mapi_object.SaveChanges()

Thanks Mark for your help,
