I got zigbee running over a other Broker outside of HA, but i also got a smartmeter what needs to be on MQTT.
If i run all my MQTT Broker on my Synology, how can i set them up in HA?
#How can i inbound more MQTT Broker in HA?

You either use one single MQTT broker for all applications and connect that one to HA or you would have to set up bridging on the different brokers, to forward messages to the one HA is connected to.
HA itself can only connect to one broker.

If HA is already talking to the Synology MQTT broker, just point your other stuff to that broker as well. (like the smartmeter thingie)
HA does not have an MQTT broker, if you use am MQTT add-on, that is actually an external broker as well. Using a different external broker is acceptable and I did it for many years.

I managed to set 2 Broker on my Synology now. Currently I’m running an other visualization where I can set up as much broker as I want. That’s why I made need to.
I also got my smartmeter working in HA, but it was a bit strange. It did receive the data but went like every second to not available.

There should only be one broker, why do you have two?
