The use of dead keys to type accents does not seem to work in any progam. I have physical keyboard MICROSOFT NATURAL (English) and languages installed Portuguese (Brasil) and English (USA). For example typing ' then c , or any accent with the layout 'international with dead keys' leads to a character without accent. Ibus is activated, and deactivating it does not solve the issue.

Press the Super key and start typing "keyboard" (for you, it would be "teclado") and open "Keyboard layout" ("Distribución del teclado"). Alternatively, you open "System configuration" ("Configuración del sistema") and select "Keyboard layout".
There you can add another keyboard layout, by clicking on the button with a "+" symbol at the bottom left, check the layout itself by clicking on the little keyboard button, and even change some of the options for your preferred layout (button "Options..." at the bottom right). The latter would let you customize the layout.

Lucas Simon's solution worked perfectly in my Lubuntu 18.04.1 .
As I don't normally login as root, I opened an LXTerminal and ran the sudo variant of Lucas Simon's command line:
This quickly downloaded & installed some ibus packages, after which all my dead key accents immediately worked as intended - no further steps were needed, and I didn't even need to restart anything.
