Dear @ctgraham and others!

Thank you @ctgraham for your help an patience!

I have solved this issue. I added mod_rewrite logging and got this error log when approaching the submissions page:

It looks like the Rewrite-rules are adding “mydomain” to the URI multiple times.
I modified my apache conf-file by adding a RewriteCond to look for “mydomain” in the address.
Now my .conf file looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mydomain.se
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/"
<Directory /var/www/html>
    AllowOverride None
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    # If the URI already has index.php in it, don't change it
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/mydomain/
    # Skip existing directories if Apache 2.2 or later
    #RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
    # Skip existing files if Apache 2.2 or later
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
    # Rewrite all other requests to a specific journal in OJS
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/mydomain/$1 [QSA,L]

    # If the URI already has index.php in it, don't change it
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /mydomain/
    # Skip existing directories if Apache 2.2 or later
    #RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
    # Skip existing files if Apache 2.2 or later
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
    # Rewrite all other requests to a specific journal in OJS
    RewriteRule ^mydomain(.*)$ index.php/mydomain/$1 [QSA,L]
</Directory>
