I want my user to be able to subscribe to a content type, so whenever a new article is written and published it will be send out as a newsletter mail to all subscribers automatically.

I do not see such an option by design in simplenews. It is designed to send out posts manually.

No, there is no such option. There is actions integration which might be able to do this, but that is probably broken.

Simplenews 7.x-1.x has rules integration, which certainly can automatically send created newsletters, but that is only a part of what you want.

In Simplenews, users subscribe to Newsletter categories (which are essentially taxonomy terms currently) and nodes are assigned to such. To allow them to subscribe to content types, you'd need to set up a newsletter category for each content type and make sure that each node is assigned to the correct category (e.g. manually or using custom code).

Something like http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions or http://drupal.org/project/notifications might be better suited for what you're looking for.
