I know that the other way around is possible (that a digital eyepiece for telescope can be used with a microscope), but maybe a digital eyepiece for telescope has some special requirements because it has to see in the darkness?

Should work just fine. Most microscopes have 25mm or 30mm eyepiece barrels or smaller though while telescopes have 1 1/4" (31.25mm or something silly) barrels. Obviously you'll likely need to increase the exposure length for anything other than the Moon or planets though.
