YSDimov_Live thank you. After some more experimentation, I've come to same conclusion - it's quite possible to authenticate to Azure Portal/Bastion using a guest account, but you then have to use a local account, AD/AADDS or AAD full member account to authenticate against the OS of the VM.
Hopefully this is something Microsoft will change in the future, as there are similar limitations in Azure Virtual Desktops and Windows 365.
