The error message did not change a lot. I get with python2:

It seems as if my password is not saved correctly, but I have double
checked the get_username/get_password within the offlineimap-helper.py
file, and they can be correctly be received with python2 and python3. I
checked my gmail account settings if "unsafe" apps are allowed, which
is also set to true...

Output of git status:

Some more things that I have checked now: You were right, I was using
python2 before. I always logged the offlineimap runs to a file, the
last successful run was:

Just half an hour later (after the update) it was running with python3
and I got the errors. Strangely it is not running with python2 now
either. I'm pretty clueless what's going on here??
Thanks for the help so far and any further ideas are very welcome ;)
