External Sharing
As I tested, I shared a dashboard within a group to an external user. He can see the shared dashboard properly via email link.
In your scenario, you can just directly share your dashboard or content pack to external user email account.
Only your direct recipients can see the shared dashboard, any user sign up with other email account can't access this shared dashboard even they have the link. This should be the reason why you share a dashboard to a external user, but you can't access it via email link by yourself.
Another important thing is the liscensing requirement for sharing. If your dashboard contains Pro content, your recipients should also need Pro liscense to view the data. For more details, see: Share a dashboard with colleagues and others.

Basvanbaar You don't need to create the users in your tenant. The requirement is that if you use a Pro feature, they will need to have a Pro license on their end as well. So they would need to set up Power BI, and have Pro licenses in their tenant in order to see the dashboards that you share with them.

But this would mean that the external users can only view the dashboard in via a link and not in their own navigation pane, right?
We would like them to have the dashboards and reports in their own PBI environment as well, so they can use them on their windows, android or iOS applications.
