Well, the problem is clear: the user has not permissions to view items so that's the reason why he/she is having denied access when trying to browse a list. Apparently he/she has been assigned at some point of your information architecture this permission so you have to find where and do the right permission assignment

Hi Kanwar - can you please share in detail what you had to do to remove the DENY? I have checked my external user too and they are marked as a user role within Azure AD.

  Hello All, I am also facing the similar issue - When given the READ only access to a external user. I am seeing the permissions are as attached. User is not able to access the site.
  
  May i know why i am seeing the Deny permissions? How can i remove this Deny permission.
  
  Thanks & Regards,
  Bhanu

The solution for this issue is to add your own domain to the list of allowed domains(tenantname.onmicrosoft.com) on the Tenant and to the site collection that is being shared externally. In my testing, in some cases by just populating external user's work email address in the user's profile did work and in some cases, I had to add our own domain to allowed list.

Please let me know if this solution worked for you.
