How long has the distribution group been created?

I can reproduce this issue in my environment. I have also tested in other actions in Flow and the group cannot be found anywhere.
I suppose there is a delay before the new created distribution group/list is granted full function in this tenant. I would suggest waiting for a while (about 24 hours) and see if the distribution group/list is available in Flow. Then we will possibly be able to confirm if this is the default behavior or just delay.

Thank you for the update.
I have managed to test in another Online environment which has two distribution lists created more than 2 years ago, and confirmed that the two lists are not available as receipts while building a flow. Also I have found a UserVoice post stating the same situation.

I’m afraid it is the default behavior that distribution list cannot be used in Flow actions for the time being. I suggest you use other type of groups as the alternative.
