Awesome Donkey:
Maybe it's some sort of HDMI limitation on the M1-based Macs? Since Apple uses their own GPUs that are built-into the M1-based Macs (and not Intel, AMD or Nvidia-based GPUs) that could be quite possible.

The fact that it is working with VLC without issues, points rather to MC than to Mac Mini.
JimH:
Do you know what VLC is outputting? If MC is set similarly, it should also work.

Let us make it even more simple. When I play Youtube video with Safari I get the proper sound on my AVR. I did not change any settings of Safari - it is using in Denon as output. Only with MC I am not getting any sound ...

Not true. By default I believe apps like VLC go through the macOS system mixer which is known to silently resample audio to a supported bit-depth/sample rate. One way you can verify that it's going through the system mixer is playing back an audio file in VLC then opening a web browser to YouTube and trying to watch a video at the same time. If you hear both at the same time, it's definitely going through the system mixer. MC by default is a little different, it'll display a warning informing the user that it can't playback audio at a specific bit-depth/sample rate and giving the user options on what to do next.
A good example is when Bluetooth is being used. Most Bluetooth devices only support 48 kHz, which most apps by default will silently resample to when playing back to Bluetooth devices. MC instead will inform the user that it can't playback the audio at the native sample rate.
You can set MC function like other apps to automatically resample in the background, but some users may not like this. If Bluetooth is being used, you can use the Output Format > Sample rate part of DSP Studio to resample everything to 48 kHz.
