Solved

DLC downloaded, installed and authorized successfully but still not working. (Steam, Ultimate)

Thank you lowcaglow for your help. What I ended up doing was uninstalling DAOA via steam, registering my serial with origins and installing it from there instead. Then I manually addied back any missing content via DDL from BSN (in my case it was just Blood Dragon Armor). I did not even have to make a new character.
I am pleasantly surprised that Origin is getting it right when Steam is not. Although if I were more of a conspiracy theorist I might have a slightly different take on the matter.

The manifest thing worked for me but only on new save (Old one is still not working with DLCs). You can easily check if it's working on new save. Just install dazips, extract manifest, run the game and make new game. If at the very beginning (prologue) You will have Schulers Pass (My translation sorry if it's wrong 😉) entry in the journal everything is fine and ready to play, if not I have no idea how to help You.

I made sure I had the manifests to CP2 and OCP2 in both my documents and the steam DAO root, but no dice with Sulcher's pass. Thanks for the quick reply though.
Edit: Even on my earlier save I've been getting Shale's crystals. So the thing is working somewhat.

  Since there are no more ideas at the moment consider downloading dazip from another source and check if this will help. Maybe somehow the files are corrupted.
  I'm not sure how it's exactly on steam (I have Origin version) but maybe don't change this one from DAOroot
