The isssue is solved. There where 2 problems: first my program read
messages from a maildir mailbox where the messages did not start with
a From: in the first line. (By the way these messages got delivered in
tha mailbox via procmail). This is the reason mailutils could not get
envelope sender.
The second issue for the sieve actions redirect, reject and vacation
to work is the registration of mailers. I needed to include 

  mu_register_all_mailer_formats();

in my code. This was not obvious to me from the things I read in the
manual.

Now all the actions I am interested in work as expected.
