PoE in works. A Mikrotik passive PoE switch needs to be used.
I could plug in the AP AC and it worked.
Great news !!!
The only remaining feature is PoE out on ethernet port 5.
Do you think it is supported and is there a way to support it?
It should be supported by default, it is on my rb951ui, rb2011s, hap ac lites.

Well ... PoE in is supported by default, but PoE out is not supported.
This is for chaining PoE devices (only two devices can be chained).
PoE in is port 1
PoE out is port 5
I tested with two devices and I am sure that this does not work.
Did you switch it on? There's a named gpio enabliing PoE out on port 5. See https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=c2140e32ce32b9cc60f7d408e20bdf45dce6a634

Thanks !!! PoE out works like a charm.
To configure PoE out:
/etc/config/system
config gpio_switch 'poe_passthrough'
option name 'PoE Passthrough'
option gpio_pin '3'
option value '1'
Then to start PoE out
echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/port5-poe/value
Thank you all. This valides the Mikrotik hAP AC complete support.
In reply to a previous question, the switch also works great.
I will add all this information to the hAP ac wiki page shortly.
Kind regards,

I want to contribute to the wiki, but cannot find a way to add a page for the hAP ac.
So here are some information and photos:

These are my photos, use them with the usual copyleft open source of OpenWRT community.
I don't know how to open the box of the hAP ac. If you would like photos from the PCB, pease explain or upload your own photos. Also, I don't know how to obtain serial console and think it is impossible.
Dear all,
I am testing ethernet speed between the hAP ac and a host connected with RJ45 using iperf3.
The MTU is 1500. Firewalld is disabled (this is a dump mode). Anyhow speed is very slow:
hAP is running on PoE. Wireless is disabled.
On hAP AC : iperf3 -s
On Ethernet host : iperf -c IPaddress hAP AC
Downstream (hPA ac sending): 289 Mbits/sec
Upstream :(hAP ac receiving): 429 Mbit/s
The figures are the same if I use a host other then hAP.
This is clearly a huge limitation.
Any idea if this is fixable or a limitation in hardware?
Is this an MTU fragmentation problem ?

Keep in mind CPU is almost 10 years old at this point. Back when I deployed mine, 50mbps internet was all we had and 200+mbps routing throughput was more than enough. If you're expecting gigabit routing with this device you're expecting too much.
