Whats your output on:

php -m | grep mbstring

Honestly sounds extension-related and not Laravel - seems to be working fine with everything else 👍

result is
mbstring

I'm having the same issue with the same parameters OS and Laravel/PHP versions and database;
the output of php -m | grep mbstring is mbstring;

note that this occures when visiting routes that should send emails

So after some inspections, it turns out that my server had two php versions installed 8.0 and 8.1
mbstring was installed on 8.1 while my laravel app was using php8.0

In my case to solve this I just removed all versions of php and only kept 8.1 and used it as default
( another problem I ran to was that pdo_mysql wasn't enabled so to enable it I used phpenmod pdo_mysql then restart apache2

Hope this helps

@dbahiense
Did you solve it?
I am also facing this problem. If you solved then let me know how you did it.

Hi @rh-robin check again if mbstring is installed as other fellows said here. In my it was installed, but then I gave up and installed everything in Ubuntu instead of debian and in Ubuntu it worked out of the box. Greetings!

@dbahiense also take care for installing correct php extension. for eg... if you are using php 8.1 then install specifically php8.1-mbstring php8.1-curl php8.1-zip etc.. extension.. if you run sudo apt-get install php-curl then it is going to install generic operating system packaged version. which may not be the version you are currently running. learned it long way today. hope it helps..

first do php -v in a console to be sure you execute php 8.3, then follow with php -m and see if you can find mb-string.
