I do not think beast races can interbreed with men or each other. Khajit have different biology, so do argonians. Only elves and men can interbreed (like lord of the rings) But this is not related to whether one can be a dovahkiin or not. The dragonblood and dragonsoul are given directly by akatosh. Reman cyrodiil, tiber septim, the non zurin part of the underking, mankar camoran, miraak, alessia, they are probably unrelated, gifted with the Dragonblood, which they pass on to their descendants and the dragonsoul, which is them and so cannot be passed on. As these are gifted by akatosh directly, anyone can have them, including elves, beastfolk and such. There is no need for unnecessary breeding and links between the different (real) dragonborns, not the dragonblood descendants. The problem with the hist? Akatosh is not that weak. He could do a last minute soul swap and give an argonian dragonborn a dragonsoul and dragonblood. Before that dragonborn dies and is reuploaded, he withdraws the gifts, so the hist is unaware. Or else, argonian dovahkiin ends up in aetherius or sovengarde, not recycled through the hist.
