4,99 should be enough, the amount is 5 dollars to unlock or the regional equivalence.
4,99 Euro is about 5.80 Dollar at the moment so it should be enough to unlimit your account.

Also, if you charged your wallet with 5 Euro that already counts as spending money on Steam and for unlimiting your account.
Also your account is level 2, that means you are already unlimited.
Limited accounts cant rise above level 0.

How did you get €5 euros in your wallet?
If you put them there via credit card or physical gift-card then you should already be unlocked. There is no reason to buy anything.

Just having $5 on your wallet would unlimit an account. You don't have to buy anything.

If you received it as a giftcard from someone else it won't work. YOU have to add the funds directly

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3330-iagk-7663

examples of purchases that grant access to these features are:

Adding the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
Purchasing game(s) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
Adding a Steam Wallet card that is equal to $5 USD or more to your Steam account
Purchasing a Steam gift that is equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store (Receiving a Steam gift or digital gift card from a friend doesn't count)

The below actions will not remove limited user restrictions:

Activating a retail game on Steam
Playing free demos
Adding a non-Steam game as a shortcut
Spending funds from items you have sold on the market
Adding/playing promotional trials like Free Weekends
Free to Play games (Examples: Alien Swarm, free versions of Portal and Team Fortress 2)
Activating promotional CD Keys from hardware or graphic card manufacturers
