As you can see from the blog post, those tracking settings are/were disabled. As a developer I know that it's easy to leave wrong default values on checkboxes so I went to first disable them (it was enabled by default) -> enable -> disable.
The tracking pixel was added in test emails as well as in the actual emails nevertheless.
I'm not arguing with the premise of the blog post. In my case, the emails were send as "single-send", not a part of a campaign, so disabling the options worked. But the blog post was very helpful nonetheless, as it lead me to discover the mysteriously enabled tracking options, which I would have never got around to checking myself.
