Like I said, I wouldn't trust any adhesive for the long term.
Does the base have ~1/4" shoulders on the base of each standout? Or
possibly have a wider section about ~1/4" out from the very back end of
each standout? If so you might have a towel bar that is intended to
be installed in a recessed area of tile. The tile supports the edge of
the standout and provides far more strength as you're not relying on
the adhesive for the shear strength. If so, that type of towel bar
should have been installed when the tile was installed, or the tile cut
to receive it.
Post a link to a picture or a web site that shows what you have.
