I have one site with a Viasat backup, and recall the modem being kinda dumb about things.
So switching between PC and Mikrotik may not be the best test, as it likely locks the PC's MAC address to the public IP. e.g. I think DHCP assignment from Viasat only runs once.
If you connected modem to the Mikrotik & reboot the modem, does that get you an address? It does take some time for the satellite to acquire. Also there may be some private address assigned at some point during boot up, but then gets a public IP with more time.
