How do I properly expose a BTCPay Monero node on Tor?
Is it sufficient to bind the hidden service to the container's IP and set the port to 18089, or are there additional considerations I need to be aware of?

In the guide you linked, the docker container automatically sets up a hidden service. You don't need to do anything beyond firewall rules if it's not working for you.

Sorry, I'm trying to understand. On BTCPay Bitcoin based, they added an option for exposing a Tor Address from UI. The current Monero support is not their priority and their lacks the same funcionality on XMR payments.
Are you talking about this file?

Yes, but setting the environment variables before running setup. The following two coded env vars will set your btcpay server to automatically also run a tor hidden service. Once XMR is configured (only one wallet per server at the moment) you should be able to access the hidden service and pay without issue.
Run btcpay-setup.sh with the right parameters
Set the custom domain you chose to use
export BTCPAY_HOST="btcpay.EXAMPLE.com"
Use Bitcoin on mainnet
export NBITCOIN_NETWORK="mainnet"
Enable Bitcoin support
export BTCPAYGEN_CRYPTO1="btc"
Enable Monero support
opt-add-tor enables Tor support for the UI and Bitcoin node

Thanks! But I'm looking Tor support for the Monero node and that's the initial question.
