Germany quotation marks broken in tinytex/rmarkdown - even when using package `csquotes`

问题

What I want:

I'd like to have German quotation marks in my TeX-PDF via rmarkdown and tinytex on MacOS (Catalina). See for example:

The problem:

It used to work following the guidelines as proposed here. But now, it stopped working. I only get English quotation marks, but not German ones:

What I tried, without success:

I updated my R packages
I updated TeX packages
I checked that the TeX package "csquotes" is installed
I changed the language from "de" to "de-De"

R-Code:

---
title: "German quotation marks"
output: 
    pdf_document:
        keep_tex: yes
lang: de-DE
header-includes:
    - \usepackage{csquotes}
---

"Das ist sehr schön", sagte sie.

EDIT

Based on the @RalfStubner's suggestion below, here's the minimal reproducible version of the TeX-File that was compiled by the code above:

\documentclass[
  ngerman,
]{article}
\usepackage[shorthands=off,main=ngerman]{babel}


\title{German quotation marks}
\author{}
\date{\vspace{-2.5em}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

``Das ist sehr schön'', sagte sie.

\end{document}

The code did compile - but the problem remained (no German quotes, only English quotes):

回答1:

Thanks to @NMarkgraf I just learned that this solution does work:

---
title: "German quotation marks"
output: 
    pdf_document:
        keep_tex: yes
lang: de-DE
csquotes: true  # THIS IS THE IMPORTANT LINE

header-includes:
    - \usepackage{csquotes}
---

"Das ist sehr schön", sagte sie.

So, the point was to add a YAML-variable csquotes with value yes.

回答2:

I was dealing with this issue as well. The YAML description states that

if your LaTeX template or any included header file call for the [csquotes] package, pandoc will detect this automatically and use \enquote{...} for quoted text.

So you actually only need to add

csquotes: true  # THIS IS THE IMPORTANT LINE

There's no need to add

    - \usepackage{csquotes}

at least this works for me.
