I understand what you explain but the question remains: Why is the volume visible if camera volume node is removed (volume = - -)?

You should try to mix Disney wit Null, it should work

Okay. This sounds logical. According to my experience this works. To be 100% sure I am going to check it.

I will try to answer when I'm back in town, I'm with a tablet and a mobile connection at the moment.

I tried and it worked as expected. With the mix Disney BRDF-Null and opacity adjustment of Disney BRDF you can get an image as follows. Because the corner in the back is rather dark 500 even 1500 samples are not enough to render the fine rectangles pattern.
Maybe Env. cache can improve quality here.
