The <link> tag is the internal (database) representation of a link. The 
whole story is complicated [1].

Normally an extension lets the core convert this to the HTML you expect.
It almost looks like the configuration of tt_news is a bit broken in 
your installation. If you start the template module (Web > Template) and 
select a page in the pagetree where your news item is displayed, 
followed by selecting the "Typoscript Object Browser" in the dropdown 
menu you can see the combined Typoscript configuration.

If I had to guess I'd say that
plugin.tt_news.general_stdWrap.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc_RTE
is missing.

There could also be something changed to the normal configuration of
lib.parseFunc_RTE.tags.link and its sub-items.

If you hove the mouse pointer over a property name you'll see a tooltip 
telling you where the value is defined (even multiple locations) like:
Defined in "EXT:css_styled_content/static/", 124
Defined in "EXT:tt_news/static/ts_news", 2021

I assume that you setup tt_news according to the manual [2].
