Hello,
we want to install 2 outdoor power outlet columns in the garden, each with 3-4 sockets.
The outlet columns will be installed outdoors without any cover and will be exposed to rain, snow, frost, wind, and sunlight.
What minimum IP rating should the outlet columns have, or what would you recommend?

The Schuko plug of outdoor devices is designed to fill the entire socket and therefore provide some sealing. No, or only minimally.

Have you ever actually plugged such a plug into an outdoor socket outside of forum theory?
This is the plug of the Hue IP67 power supply in an IP44 socket. It doesn’t seal anything beyond light drizzle at best:
