Try to login with the newly created user. After the user has entered
username+password the verify email is sent and the user can't complete the
login until the email address is verified.

No, it's the expected behavior. Verify email and other actions have limited
life span so it makes little sense to send these out when the user is
created. It's much better to send these when the user is actually trying to
use the account.

BTW verify email is not a welcome or account created email, it's explicitly
about the user verifying the email alone. For a welcome email it would make
sense to send it when the user is created. We have an outstanding jira to
add that.
