The question is: What conversion is necessary in order to print the
EmailMessage object to the terminal, such that the quoted-printable
parts are turned (back) into UTF-8?

Do you still have access to `body` ? That would be the original message text? Otherwise maybe:
     print(mail.get_content())
The objective is to obtain the message body Unicode text (i.e. a regular Python string with the original text, unencoded). And to print that.
