Seems that should be enough . What is the issue you are facing at this point ?

By network monitoring we discover a blocking for port 443 which is not in wmware KB ..

Run the below on both the vCSA. Did u ever try domain repoint commands on the vCenter? 

cat /etc/vmware/install-defaults/deployment.node.type

In atleast vCenter 6.7 it was also required to use port TCP/2015. It does however look like this has been replaced with TCP/2020 though.
