It gets stuck in between, with part of the cube not being fully outside, it hangs on the edge.

This only works if you treat the cube as one object anchored by a small part. In reality, objects are a bunch of particles each with their own momentum held together by forces between each particle usually strong and springy enough to cancel out differences in momentum. This is why all objects tear apart if enough uneven force is applied on them.
If the portal stops partway through the cube, the stationary bottom part on one side of the portal and the top part still carrying the momentum of recently exiting the portal will have very different competing momentums. If the cube’s internal forces win out, the overall momentum will average out, and the cube will fly up with a speed proportional to however much of it got pushed through the portal before it stopped. If the competing momentums win out, the cube will break into both stationary and flying parts.
