Hello @Dennis Preatto ,
welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.
Although the free tier IoT Hub is a Standard tier version, the Basic tier version should support message routing.
It seems you tried multiple kinds of outputs (eventhub, blobstorage, etc.) already?
As a test, doe you see the same behavior if you create a Standard tier IoT hub in the same region?
Additionally, this could be an Azure portal UI issue, please try to add an IoT Hub custom output via Bicep or the CLI.
If this does not provide insights in the behavior seen, you could create an Azure support ticket so that team can check the backend.
If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". If it doesn't work, please let us know the progress. All community members with similar issues will benefit by doing so. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
