1. Cut a hole in this part, right here. Thats why I added the highlightet lines.

2. Added a Cylinder, smooth shaded, and auto smooth.

3. First problem arrives. If the cylinder only intersects the upper part of the object I get artifacts. If it scale the cylinder in z direction, so that it intersects the whole object I dont get artifacts, so I do it this way. I also use the "Fast" Solver as this also does not result in artifacts.

enter image description here

4. I apply the boolean and there is my hole. No artifacts. But when I extrude it down, artifacts start to show up. I tried adding supporting lines. I tried extruding the inner faces of the hole and scaling them down. Face normals are correct. I tried "clear costum split normals data" ind the object data" but nothing worked.

    $\begingroup$ Don't you want to mark sharp the edges of the hole? You would get rid of this shading $\endgroup$

The Shade Smooth will smooth the shading between the perpendicular faces, which will give this bad result:

You can either Clear Custom Split Normals Data and play with the Auto Smooth value so that it doesn't smooth above 90°, or select the edge loops and CtrlE > Mark Sharp:

Result (note that there's a clipping problem, tweak the clipping values in the N panel):
