Authenticate with client certificate
Finally I found a solution by myself "out of the box". Well, not really OOTB - I had to take many hurdles - but it works.
Namely with Web Application Proxy (WAP), a feature in Windows Server 2016 (SSRS/PBIRS needs 2016), and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). I used this documentation: If you publish "https://reports.contoso.com/" (and not only "https://reports.contoso.com/reports/") you have a full-featured PBIRS accessible from extranet and authentication possible via Forms auth, Client certificate and even MFA:

Seems that I have to ask our internal software developers for a solution. Such a shame that Microsoft components don't work together out of the box.
