so when you fly MUC-IST-HKG / HKG-IST-MUC only MUC-IST-HKG is covered by the EU.

Every online-service helping passengers to get their compensation will deny to process HKG-IST-MUC claims on a non-EU carrier.
For the HKG-IST-MUC return, the IST-MUC leg (IST is outside EU, but MUC is EU arrival) is still covered, no?..
