You'll need to use Encryption Domain per Community for the on-premises gateway communities with the Azure cluster (where you create a domain-based VPN per-community with the on-premises gateways), and use the empty domain/route-based VPN between Azure cluster and the AzVPNGW gateway. This will work. I presume you aren't using BGP across the domain-based VPN here (no need, really).
