    Update on my own:

    After giving the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account sysadmin permissions, we can now see the dabases.

    Discovery is done with the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Account :https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-sql-database#set-vm-permissions)
    But for newer SQL Versions (we are on 2016) the "public" role should be enough for discovery process.
    (Works fine on another SQL 2016 within the same tenant)

    So a bit strange.

    We will test the backups and came back.
