The cgi-page displayed all information as expected, but if I pull the fuse for one UPS in building A, none action occur. I expected that I get a mail "UPS A on Batt" and that after 5 minutes the shotdownscript starts. But no action.

upsmon should be running on the system with upsmon.conf (which does not need to be the same system running upsd). It does not matter whether the monitored UPS is connected to the driver with SNMP.

On Ubuntu, upsmon should be started if MODE in /etc/nut/nut.conf is set to something other than "none". So your configuration looks correct.

Which version of NUT and Ubuntu?

As mentioned in other recent threads, there may be a race condition if you use LISTEN with something less reliable than a static IP configuration with ifupdown. Instead of binding to individual IPs, I would recommend listening to 0.0.0.0 and using a firewall rule to block traffic from other interfaces.
