You have some ffmpeg packages (all those libav* ones) on your system from the Main repo, and some from the AHS repo so apt is seeing conflicting requirements.
Installing the ffmpeg package from the AHS repo should fix the mismatch.
It will be versioned 7:4.2.1-2~mx19+2 - if you don't see that version check to make sure the AHS repo is still selected.

Thank you so much,
I Added the AHS Repo
#deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ buster ahs
Now I"ve been able to installl blender.
Should I delete the
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ buster non-free main
and Keep only the AHS ones?
Thank you again.
Bests.

No, the AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) repo is used in addition to the Main repo, not as a replacement. But you either don't use it at all or you leave it enabled. Cherry-picking from it then disabling it can lead to the kind of dependency issues you just encountered.
