At least not in my case. If I blow out a candle, my nose passage closes.

Maybe try the following:

Start with the motion of blowing out a candle.
While doing so, close your mouth, so that no air escapes through your mouth or nose, still holding the pressure of blowing.
Release your nose and feel the air popping out right at your nose.

It’s not the bottom end of the nose, but the top end of it.

I just tried that and I can definitely say the closure happens at the pharynx for me, which is also what I do consciously when I hold my breath. I didn’t feel any air “popping” out of my nose when I released.

  Strange. Ok, can you make a snorting sound at the front of your nose? If you can, try to make a knocking sound with your nose. For that, build up pressure inside your nose using your tongue and release the sound by opening your nose.
  
  It’s similar to what you do when you have to sneeze and try to suppress it.

    Nope. With effort I can restrict it a little but not close it off.
    
    Suppressed sneezes are from my throat.

I tried it and can feel the release in my throat, not nasal passage.
