Why set PGPASSWORD=timeshift_pass and use --password?
The password should be picked up from the env variable.

What happens if, when logged in via local, you do:
ALTER ROLE timeshift_user PASSWORD 'timeshift_pass';
and then try logging in via the remote connection?
Seeing if maybe the script is passing in or mangling the password.

That seems to be the reason, thank you Adrian.
At first connecting from the other pod in the AKS cluster does not work:
$ PGPASSWORD=timeshift_pass psql --host=timeshiftservice --port=5432
--dbname=timeshift_database --username=timeshift_user
psql: error: connection to server at "timeshiftservice" (10.0.120.194),
port 5432 failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "t
imeshift_user"
But once I connect to my PostgreSQL pod (or is it called "container"? I am
always confused by that) and run locally
$ psql -U postgres
psql (17.4)
Type "help" for help.
timeshift_database=# ALTER ROLE timeshift_user PASSWORD 'timeshift_pass';
ALTER ROLE
Then the connection from the other pod works immediately

My guess it has to do with:
-c 'ALTER USER timeshift_user PASSWORD '"'"'timeshift_pass'"'"';'
I am still trying to work out what that quoting is doing?
