TLDR first: The latest patch has fixed the problem.
Tough Nut unlocks now simply on Iron Mutant. The difficulty you're playing on doesn't need to be Very Hard anymore.
!!!This is a warning not a guide!!!
I just finished the DLC on Iron Mutant Normal mode and didn't get the achievement for it.
I found a user in the Steam forums of the game having the same issue. Another user stated that he got it playing on Iron Mutant Very Hard.
If you're going for the achievement you have to play on Iron Mutant Very Hard, it seems.
Edit:
I contacted Funcom via their support forum on the 9th of August but haven't heared from them yet.
I will update the solution when they get back to me.
Edit 2: They finally got back to me on the 12th of August unfortunately only asking more specifics on how I started the DLC (Completely fresh? From an old savefile? etc.)
Will update when I get more.
Edit 3:
You have to play the DLC on IRON MUTANT on Very HARD to unlock the TOUGH NUT achievement.
Edit 4:
I got another response from them:
We appreciate your constructive feedback and will try to improve our communication in the future.
To further clarify on this situation, the issue had been registered and was being looked into as the achievement should unlock no matter the difficulty, as the description doesn’t specify difficulty as a requirement.
We’ve recently received confirmation that it will be addressed in an upcoming patch to reflect the above, and we apologize for the frustration the issue has brought you, as well as the fact that we didn’t get hold of this information within a reasonable time.
In any case, congratulations on earning it on Very Hard, we’re happy to know that you’ve enjoyed the game and we truly appreciate your support!
It seems it's gonna be patched some day.
But seeing how long it took them to fix Zone Master this will surely take some time.
Edit 5 (14th September 2019):
finally another answer:
We’ve recently got confirmation that the issue will be address for the consoles in the next hot fix ( together with other several remaining issues ), although we’re unable to offer any ETA as it’s still undergoing testing.
This sounds like it's gonna be the next thing that hits the console versions. I keep my fingers crossed for you guys and will update my solution as soon as I get more information.
Edit 6:
Hotfix (18.09.2019): Hello Stalkers! We’ve just released a small Hot Fix update for the XBOX version of MYZ: You may find the notes below: Changelog (1.14): Bug Fixes “Tough Nut” Achievement no longer requires hard difficulty Several bug fixes
They finally fixed it. I asked for confirmation if you need to beat the final boss again or if the achievement unlocks retroactively.
Edit 7:
Hopefully their last response:
Happy to help! You’ll likely have to beat the boss for it to trigger.
The final boss in the base game on Iron Mutant had a save right before the last turn to kill it. I hope the DLC boss is the same. Otherwise this would mean a completely full run on Iron Mutant normal to unlock this achievement.
If anyone could let me know that would be great.
Credit to MALFUNCTION II for being the fist one to confirm that the achievement now indeed unlocks on Iron Mutan on normal/any difficulty.
He did a full run starting with pre-set characters skipping mostly anything bedsides the main missions.

I assume this is still an issue? I know there was more than one recent patch

I am checking the forum regularely but nothing has been mentioned about it being fixed. Taking into consideration that somecpeople on all platforms lost their saves or can't even get past the 1st DLC mission because of crashes I would say this problem might be less pressing to them.
I will update my solution as soon as the get back to me.

Game, version 1.12
At the moment, the trophy only drops on the "Hard" difficulty of the "Iron Mutant" mode.
Judging by foreign forums, the developers are aware of the problem and promise to fix it in the next patches.
If you decide not to wait for the problem to be fixed and go the hard way, then here are some tips that will make it easier for you to pass:
1. Don’t be lazy, go to the “Lair of the Horned Devil” location, clear it entirely (it won’t be difficult, the mobs in the location are level 35 and you are 61+. After clearing, you will find an artifact worth 4 units! Well, farm some scrap. Another artifact you will find in the first location the DLS "Suburban Mausoleum", a total of 5.
2. In the bar "At Pripp's" we buy improvements for 5 points: 30% discount in the Iridia store, Hellfire - improvement of the combustible mixture (damage 3 units per turn), Master Explosive Blaster (increase in damage from grenades by 4 units) and most importantly improvement - Doctor (first aid kits heal for 8 health points).
3. The Iridia store sells two cool items: the MIMIR ZERO G-08 armorer and the C/R 33 MIMIR sight. I advise you to buy them, but just buy a discount from Pripp for the store first! Spend the rest of the scrap on first aid kits.
4. In terms of tactics, I won’t say anything new, everything is as always, try to single out singletons and kill them in 1 turn, so as not to raise the alarm; if you don’t have time in one turn, stun them with Bormin and finish them off. Use first aid kits in battle in extreme cases, it is more effective to be treated outside of combat, one first aid kit heals the character completely, and in battle the current is 8 units.
5. You don’t have to kill everyone in the locations, you can go around, go around! The exception will be the last location with the final boss. When you attack her heart, she summons all the mobs from the location, so take your time, clear everything out gradually.
6. And finally, use saves on a flash drive or in the cloud, this will save you a lot of time because There are no manual saves in this mode, and the game saves progress after each move.
I killed 2-3 mobs and threw the save onto the flash drive.

Application version 1.13, the problem with the trophy falling out depending on the selected difficulty has been fixed.

The trophy drops as soon as you kill the tree, on a light iron mutant. (I didn’t do any side steps, I just ran to the tree on an easy one.

Most of the advice from the first commenter is quite relevant. I didn't save it to a flash drive. He killed not only individuals, but those who did not come into contact with others with their “field of vision”. He used Bormin's stunning skill, and then killed him with a silent weapon. A bunch of boars with stunning, a fox with the ability to eat corpses, and a cyborg with control over opponents in open battles. I advise you to get a silent version of the Rambino rifle in the additional task. All scrap metal received was used for first aid kits. I used them exclusively on the quest to kill the traitor stalker. The mutant tree is easily killed if the Persians are placed near 2 hearts.
In general, during the passage, it is better to skip some battles if you are not sure that you will fail. 3-4 hours, difficulty level is easy and the trophy is in your pocket. I started playing the expansion right away.
