Our external DB auth plugin is configured to DONT update ANY Field in external database. This setting cause the error.
This error was introduced with MDL_39961 and is generated in function user_update in file /auth/db/auth.php .
I added this error in Bug Tracker https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-39961 and full explained there.
