Ok, now this makes more sense. You're trying to create a user but it fails when trying to create a session prior to creating the user. You don't need a session to create a user, you just need the security group to be set. This can be done using APEX_UTIL.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID. I executed this code in my environment, connected via sqldeveloper:
DECLARE
l_workspace_id number;
BEGIN
l_workspace_id := apex_util.find_security_group_id (p_workspace => '<myworkspacename>');
apex_util.set_security_group_id (p_security_group_id => l_workspace_id);
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER(
p_user_name => 'NEWUSER1',
p_web_password => 'secret99');
COMMIT;
END;
/
and the user was created without errors.
