I got this fixed by doing a factory reset and installing the new version of microG, but I made sure to set device registration profile to real this time (it's important to do it before enabling device registration for the first time because after that the id was already generated and before adding your google account) and to enable allow apps to find accounts before adding my google account.

So I don't know if this was fixed in the new version or if I set up microg wrong before but now it works.
