Mail merge works fine for me with

Note that, in order to actually insert the values from the data source into the
document, you need to take an additional step 4:

Select "Save Merged Document" or "Print Merged Document" or "Send Email
Message" in the mail merge toolbar. Your described step 3 is not yet meant to
actually insert the values, but just prepare the document and connection
accordingly.

Does it work if you take that additional step?

Otherwise: Can you please retest with LibreOffice 6.4?
