Nuno,

1. LIBS += -L"/path-to-lib-files" -llibeay32 -lssleay32

Sometimes, it may need crypt32.lib

2. You need to provide these openssl dlls either in one of the
directories mentioned in
    PATH or add their location to PATH.

Moreover, it seems to be that OpenSSL 1.1.x version that is required
by your Qt-version
since 1.0.x series required also SSL2 functions..

3. You can find several places with instructions on how to build
OpenSSL on Windows;
as a tip,  build without NASM - no need in NASM.

Take care.

Kind regards,
Robert
