M-x find-library python, followed by C-s outline- shows what's happening: python-base-mode sets the local outline variables locally, in its mode body. Since mode hooks always run after the body of their mode definitions, you could add a bit of code to the python-base-mode-hook (or a parent of it, like prog-mode-hook) setting your desired outline config there (i.e. overwriting what python mode did).

I do that using outli simply (in a use-package stanza):

 :hook ((prog-mode text-mode) . outli-mode))

BTW, here's a handy guide (from this epic answer) to what runs in which order upon invoking a derived major mode like python-ts-mode:

So when we call (child-mode), the full sequence is:

(run-hooks 'change-major-mode-hook) ;; actually the first thing done by
(kill-all-local-variables)          ;; <-- this function
,@grandparent-body
,@parent-body
,@child-body
(run-hooks 'change-major-mode-after-body-hook)
(run-hooks 'grandparent-mode-hook)
(run-hooks 'parent-mode-hook)
(run-hooks 'child-mode-hook)
(run-hooks 'after-change-major-mode-hook)
