wp_logout function not executed

Question

Context: a custom plugin

My goal: i need to redirect user to another site after a logout

I wrote these

error_log("test of error logging");

add_action('wp_logout', function () {
  error_log("do_action wp_logout_called");
});

add_action('wp_logout', function()
  {
    wp_redirect('https://www.google.it');
    exit();
  };

In the error_log i can see test of error logging, so plugin is loaded and error logging works

But

1. I never see do_action wp_logout_called, never logged at all
2. The redirect is not working (the user returns to wordpress, no error, no redirect)

What am I doing wrong?

Edit 1 - More trial

I tried a manual logut using

http://www.domain.ext/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.it&_wpnonce=a7b9f2e2b0

Esit: logout works, but i'm redirected to home page.

I also tested the code on a local sandbox WP and it worked as expected. As Howdy_McGee commented this is probably a conflict with 3rd party code.

If disabling theme and plugins is not an option, you can try changing the priority of the actions - i.e. the third parameter to add_action().

By default priority is 10, but if you give it a lower number it will be executed earlier - possibly before 3rd party actions.
