 Even though in settings I have checked that anyone can post comments (+
 approval), server returns 401 unauthorized on these requests.

 However, those posts do get saved in the database and they do show up in
 the article section in wp-admin, but the email notification about new post
 is not sent.

 If the approvals are turned off, it seems like the comments are rejected
 altogether and they do not show up in the wp-admin.
