Because it was an unsupported installation - a package on a Synology DSM.
I tried installing mosquitto 1.6 - no difference
I might try and run the docker HA in bridge mode on the same network as everything else and see what happens

Ok all fixed - ended up being a MQTT ACL issue
I had not given the devices specific readwrite access to homeassistant/#
Hence nothing was being written there, so no discovery
The add-on broker didn’t have ACL set up, which is why it worked
So nothing to do with docker networking etc etc
Thanks all for trying to help !
I have the same problem.
I have a unit that has the password and username but it is neither connecting to the MQTT server
How do you give the permission? I am noob in these things
How did you install your mqtt broker?
With a docker run command. Afterwards I made a config file and made a password
So the broker is mosquito? mosquito.conf is the man page you want.
What do I need to type there?
