You need to add in %PATH% the folders: bin, lib and include. You shouldn't install that precompiled version from slproweb.com, it has dynamic libraries. You should download and compile a static version openssl. And you should add flags in .\configure.bat with OPENSSL_LIBS="-llibssl -llibcrypto -lcrypt32 -lgdi32 -lws2_32". LibSSL and LibCrypto is files (main library) and crypt32, gdi32, ws2_32 is a sublibraries (it are in the main file).
I created a small script to do an almost unattended install and modified other script. I will also leave all the instructions in the simplest way that has occurred to me.
1Âș- Install msys2 (used for compile OpenSSL), 7zip and Qt with MinGW for section "Developer and Designer Tools" (if possible the compiler version that matches the one compiled for development)
2Âș- Update msys2 with pacman -Syu and pacman -Su (if it needed, close msys2 and rewrite)
3Âș- Download OpenSSL from official page https://www.openssl.org/source/ (In your case, openssl-1.1.1d.tar.gz) and descompress folder with 7zip
4Âș- Include the next script into folder (extension end in .sh):
#!/bin/bash
pacman -S perl mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc make --noconfirm --needed
pacman -Syu --noconfirm
mkdir -p /c/openssl
./Configure --prefix=/c/openssl --openssldir=/c/openssl no-shared --release mingw64
make depend && make && make install_sw
5Âș- Execute "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" and go to the folder with command cd /c/pathToFolder and execute the script with command ./nameScript.sh
6Âș- Execute the next script in PowerShell 3.0 or higher (update $QtSrcUrl if you need a version higer). Extension end in .ps1

.SYNOPSIS
Build a static version of Qt for Windows.
.DESCRIPTION
This scripts downloads Qt source code, compiles and installs a static version
of Qt. It assumes that a prebuilt Qt / MinGW environment is already installed,
typically in C:\Qt. This prebuilt environment uses shared libraries. It is
supposed to remain the main development environment for Qt. This script adds
a static version of the Qt libraries in order to allow the construction of
standalone and self-sufficient executable.
This script is typically run from the Windows Explorer.
Requirements:
- Windows PowerShell 3.0 or higher.
- 7-zip.
.PARAMETER QtSrcUrl
URL of the Qt source file archive.
By default, use the latest identified version.
.PARAMETER QtStaticDir
Root directory where the static versions of Qt are installed.
By default, use C:\Qt\Static.
.PARAMETER QtVersion
The Qt version. By default, this script tries to extract the version number
from the Qt source file name.
.PARAMETER MingwDir
Root directory of the MinGW prebuilt environment. By default, use the version
which was installed by the prebuilt Qt environment.
.PARAMETER NoPause
Do not wait for the user to press <enter> at end of execution. By default,
execute a "pause" instruction at the end of execution, which is useful
when the script was run from Windows Explorer.

7Âș- End of install. Add compiler to QT Creator. ;)
If you need more help (to add it in Qt Creator) visit the next video for simple install static (without OpenSSL): https://youtu.be/lwX_urJJOf8
Your issue helped me understand where it failed. That's why I wanted to help you and everyone who encountered this issue. Thank you.
