Right again. Two mqtt controllers are not allowed simultaneously

You are right

Well, my knowledge on mqtt is limited, but I wonder why can be enabled to send a certain task to BOTH controllers, as long you can't enable both of them...

I noticed that, if the device has two mqtt controllers defined, the device connects to both of them, but publish sensor data only to one. Meantime , accept commands from the disabled mqtt.

What you're looking for is not yet implemented in ESPEasy and it's called "MQTT Auto Discovery" Ton is looking into it as it really makes things a lot easier to add things to HA. I know there are users who managed to publish the right topics to the MQTT broker to make HA work with ESPEasy...

I'm new on ESP32.
ESP32 has more hardware UART. The Victron plugin will run on multiple victron devices, on the same ESP32 board? Or will flood the CPU?

Solved with ESPHome. Victron sends burst of data every second. My victron 100/20 has 5V on VE.direct. I used an 10k/22k divider from mppt tx to Rx of an ESP12S board.
