In Exchange_ logs the error is:
Dez-17-2019 12:07:00 :  Error processing command: Cannot convert 'somedomainürPFM@somedomain.com' to the type 'Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddressCollection' required by parameter 'EmailAddresses'. The address 'somedomainürPFM@somedomain.com' is invalid: "somedomainürPFM@somedomain.com" isn't a valid SMTP address. The domain name can't contain spaces and it has to have a prefix and a suffix, such as example.com.  

Dez-17-2019 12:07:00 :  CommandDetails: set-mailbox -publicfolder -identity "somedomainür PFM" -emailaddresses "somedomainürPFM@somedomain.com" -confirm:$False   

Reason

Email addresses "somedomainürPFM@somedomain.com" is the main issue.
This is populated automatically when creating DEDICATED PFM because OU name is somedomainür

ü should be ue
somedomainürPFM => somedomainuerPFM

Resolution

To resolve this, create Shared PFM and assigned only to 1 (concerned) organization. You will get option to type in name of shared PFM where you can enter somedomainuer (as per example used in this KB).
