Header connector for mounting in the PCB slot, does such thing exist?

This is the best I could find. It gives you almost 1 mm of soldering surface. Mechanically is still not a very good solution as the soldering joints are stressed when connecting the mating female connector.

That's exactly the same as on my illustration. Considering that slot needs some tolerance and pads usually are not allowed closer than about 20 mil to the edge, that does not sound good. Thanks for your time spent, though.

I agree it is the same as your illustration, but the plastic holder is 2.4 mm and the pins are 4.8 mm from tip to tip, which will give you about 1mm overlap of the pin to the pad. 3M and other suppliers have shorter soldering pins. Check the drawing.

3D model I downloaded and used in the illustration is for this connector: http://gct.co/pcb-board-to-board/pdf/BG055.pdf. It has 5.30 mm from tip to tip and plastic is 2.50 mm wide. Actually it is better for this purpose than suggested by you but does't look good at all.
