I would like to know if invoking the submitblock RPC is supposed to work if the daemon that handles the RPC does not have the private-keys for to the coinbase output address?
Does submitblock require the wallets private key?

submitblock is not a wallet RPC so it does not need private keys nor is it related to anything in the wallet. It can be used even if the wallet is disabled.
So submitting a block to a node on behalf of your "real" wallet controlled by another node is a supported use case? – Oliver Weichhold – 2018-11-19T18:21:53.917
Yes. Block's aren't tied to wallets... You don't need a wallet to create a block, and a block does not need to be created by a wallet. – Andrew Chow – 2018-11-19T18:25:56.653
