[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't enter outline-minor-mode
from my init.el, nor from a .el file loaded via the --load option.

Let enter-outline.el have file contents:
  (outline-minor-mode 1)

Create an empty C file:
  touch /tmp/foo.c

Start Emacs:
  emacs -Q --load enter-outline.el /tmp/foo.c

"Outl" does not appear in the minibuffer and C-c @ is an undefined key
binding.

Next:
  C-u 1 M-x outline-minor-mode

And now the minor mode is started.

outline-minor-mode is buffer-local.

emacs -Q --eval '(progn (find-file "/tmp/foo.c") (outline-minor-mode 1))'

Normally, you'd use a file-local variable for that.
