OK, I installed the latest LibreOffice and tested
=VALUE("20-03-1999") => Err:502 (invalid argument)
Then I added date pattern D-M-Y which did not change anything.

The one and only relevant setting for the conversion of already existing
text is the global application locale above "date acceptance patterns"
in the language options.
