Nevermind this - did further testing today and it boiled down to a inconsistency between updating exports, adapting fstab and exportfs -ra and restarting nfs services.
Apparently i somehow made things consistent and inconsistent when switching squashin on/off.

Now i can use mtls in all used combinations of squashing/mapping.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks again
