From any Linux Distro to any Linux Distro, with AnyDesk 6.0.1 and older versions, Alt Gr combinations does not work, for example is not possible to write: "€@#[]{}". In my specific case I use Linux Mint 20 to Raspberry Pi OS "raspios_full_armhf-2020-08-24". I have the same keyboard configuration in host and in the guest both.
Alt Gr work from Windows to Linux, from Linux to Windows and from Windows to Windows.
I have already submitted a ticket to AnyDesk support.
I haven't found anyone on the internet who has the same problem as me, but my co-workers have the same problem as me.
How can I solve the problem?

Sorry I don't really have a solution, but thanks for your research because I am having exactly the same problem.
I operate my Raspberry Pi4 mostly with AnyDesk from other computers, and I thought it is a Raspberry issue that at least sometimes AltGR is not working. I ran raspbi-config to setup keyboard and make sure AltGR was taken into account, but to avail.
However, it seems I have exactly the same issue as you, it is specifically when I take an AnyDesk connection from my Linux Mint 20 PC to the RPi4, when AltGR does not work. If I take it from e.g. Windows 7, AltGR works just fine.
Heck, I just took an AnyDesk connection from my Linux Mint to Windows 7, and then from Windows 7 to Raspberry... and AltGR works through this two-hop rerouting. :D
So at least I know now there is something odd about the AnyDesk connection from Linux Mint 20 to Raspberry Pi4, causing AltGR not working... I've seen some other issues too, e.g. when I try to write a * on the RPi4 terminal, it starts spamming 8888888... characters repeatedly, and things like that.
I am currently using AnyDesk 6.0.1 but it seems there is a newer 6.1.1 version available too, I need to check if it has this same issue.
