The issue is solved very easily - I bet none of you are killing the flailing tentacles at Ilâgonoth before leaving the area, and thus are stuck in combat. Make sure to clear all the trash, including the tentacles in that area, and voila, out of combat and can interact with Malfurion after Cenarius!

Except we are not in combat lol
You canât leave the areas if you are in combat btw, so itâs not that. The portals back to the center just straight up wonât let you through if you are in combat. Plus I never kill the tentacles and have only encountered the bug in one case.

I have a solution that I used when the bug occured to me.
I invited a friend who went into the raid and then invited me. He then had to come out and we both entered (with him going in first). Then the save was his save and all bosses were alive. Then we cleared them all clockwise and we could get to Cenarius!
An alternative to not have to wait the whole reset!

This is still an issue in Nov 2020, honestly you couldnât make BOP any more tedious and arbitrary if you tried. If they arenât going to fix it they could at least make the Balance of Power an account wide achievement for those who have done it already so we donât have to keep going back to the Emerald Dream

Apparently this crap only happens when you are in the Balance of Power questline? My hunter who never played Legion farm EN with no problem, I tried to complete Balance of Power on my two older alts and ran into this problem. Still there still canât be fixed.

My Vengeance DH is NOT on the Balance of Power questline and had the bug too. resetting or waiting 30 mins or abandon quest and try in a new ID did not bring a solution. I always do the bosses after nythendra from left to right (Ursoc, Dragons, Elerethe, Illâgynoth). Nothing, only quest but no option to open the iris. Then I read something on the US forum for a kill order to work.
Today I did Elerethe -> Dragons -> Ursoc -> Illâgynoth
AND IT WORKED !
everything on HC solo and WITHOUT balance of power quest(s) in log.
2 years since this topic and still that thing isnt fixed 
This bug still persists, I was helping my friend who was on the Balance of Power questline. He had killed all the bosses up to Ursoc, so I helped him with killing Ursoc, and the portal never opened. We reset the instance and went back in, but it didnât help. We also switched it to normal and killed the bosses again (Elrethe, Ursoc, and Ilâgynoth, all the others were dead), and it didnât open on normal, either.
Had this bug recently too! Took ~3 weeks to get past it, and Iâm not entirely sure what had helped. I did drop that âgather 4 bits to skip to final bossâ quest before my last run, though. Some people claim, that itâs the culprit, and the issue happens when itâs active, because of the messed variables.
I have start the instance via dalaran npc, but I canât enter in other bosses only 2 and after kill both I canât go in the other bosses.
How can solve?
Not sure, but try walking into the normal instance directly, not via npc.
If you queue via the NPC, you are doing the LFR version of the raid and that is split into different wings, each only having a few bosses. Dark Bough has Nythendra, Elerethe and Ilâgynoth, Tormented Guardians has Ursoc, Dragons of Nightmare and Cenarius, and Rift of Aln has Xavius.
Hi i tried it with normal difficulty, but got the bug also. I asked my brother to boost me and we did it with Mythic, no problem Malfurion opened the âRoseâ/âirisâ or what ever it was and we got to the last part. Only thing we did different was that we killed the Dragon boss SLOW and hit them all, cuz when i soloed it just went full blast at Normal dif and the 1 dragon kinda wanished, so i think the fast kill on the dragons might cause the bug, this is my theory. I think there might be few other Dungeons where the speed kills the run. This is kinda anoying bug if it makes u wait like whole week if u dont get it right with easiest difficulty or u cant get any help to try it other difficulty:/

I was having this issue today, but I just exited the raid, dropped Malfurionâs quest and reset the instance (I also changed difficulty from Normal to Heroic, belts and bracers etc) and after killing the bosses clockwise, heâs letting me into Moonglade.
Iâm not sure which part fixed the bug, just wanted to share what I did 
Hopefully they revisit the poor tuning job they did last patch, maybe we will see it in 9.2.5
