Zabbix sends me those annoying emails with body:

zabbix : problem with defaults entries ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ;

Now I do not have sssd installed, nor do I have sss word in /etc/nsswitch.conf, like this answer would suggest.

What I do have re sudo + zabbix is /etc/sudoers.d/zabbixsudoers:

zabbix             ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/needrestart -b -r l *, /sbin/drbdadm

How can I turn those emails off?

You can avoid these messages, when you remove Zabbix from the sudo list. Your Security Officer would have bad dreams when you give root access to a freeware program that doesn't need it.
How about monitoring all those root-only items?
You can have root check these with crontab. Root can report with zabbix_sender (sorry Security Officer) or write to a file and chown zabbix:zabbix that_file. The zabbix_sender can report one item or send a file with a batch of items to the zabbix server.
