OK, in this case the problem is most probably a mismatch in your Origin cache.

 

Clear your Origin cache:
All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.)

    - close Origin completely. (right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close)
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy  "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) > hit ENTER
    - Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder. (The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.)
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy "%AppData%" (without quotes)  > hit ENTER
    - Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder
    - Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the "Roaming" folder
    - In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on the word "AppData".
    - Open the "Local" folder
    - Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the  "Local" folder
    - Restart your PC. > test

I was afraid of that. Unfortunately there was only this solution to clear this error.
You need to get online with this machine for one time again, after that the offline mode will work again.

 

Do you have a self phone with data that you could use as a Mobil hotspot?

What I meant with hotspot is if you have a self-phone with a contract that has free data included.

If so and if it is a relatively modern phone you could use the self-phone as a "modem" for your PC to activate the game.

Not everyone knows about this possibility, that's why I mentioned it.

Problem solved itself. When Origin will prompt to update, reject this and stay offline. Since now Origin will start without internet and ask for pass in good old way. No internet connection error more.
