I have found enough information to make it working, it was in the
variables. And much is already documented: (info "(emacs) Outline
Mode")

Now if somebody wish to customize any variable, well... where to find
the variables?

What I do is:

C-h v outline-TAB TAB or

C-h v outline-minorTAB TAB and I look then in descriptions of those
variables.

Emacs is in general stable editor and it is already advanced.

Customizing variables and modes is on a level more than advanced. Thus
documentation on those variables is already there, as when person is
level more than what Emacs Manual provides, that person has to know to
find descriptions in docstrings of variables or in the source of the
mode.
