With -k you have to pass a connection string, not only a DSN value, so
something like

isql -v -k 'DSN=connect_test_azure;UID=user;PWD=password;'

The error came from the DM (Driver Manager) so unixODBC didn't even
load FreeTDS.

As you can see connection string is passed from command line verbatim.

Looks ok

Seems from the bug report link you provided that you solved the problem
