I could not see what's wrong with this... maybe somebody had this
experience before?

Here is my request/response:

just an update - the problem is with

<status>
<value>
Enabled
</value>
</status>

If I leave this out, the creative is added. What is wrong with this
format? How should it be normally formatted? The schema is as follows:

Hi nightmedia,

As far as I can tell it's the unexpected <value> tag causing the
problem. Have you tried simply sending the following:

<status>
Enabled
</status>

Instead? If so, what were your results?

That fixed it, thank you.
