I have had mixed results with this I must admit. If the settings in the Teams Admin Center are as below for both parties, then it should work just fine.
However, its doesn't always seem to be that simple. Sometimes this has worked for me, other times not. I've never had the time to follow up on this specifically, and I get around this other ways like inviting guests into Teams or meetings to chat.
If you were looking to troubleshoot this specifically though, I'd recommend opening a support ticket with Microsoft for further guidance.
