I know originally you said secondhand might be alright - older Cotic Roadrat hits all boxes except internal routing. Oldest one has reverse-disc on the fork which means no dynamo, newest is carbon fork, you want the model in the middle with steel 9mm bolt-thru fork (lets you run QR too obvs). Track ends + derailleur hangar lets you SS properly whilst still being able to run gears. Check @kgrev for it's sister bike in full tour mode.
It's not fancy steel so a little heavy and a little noodly under heavy loads but fun to ride and super-versatile.
Alternatively, if you don't like super-sloped top tubes then Brother Kepler Disc might be the one. Again, no internal routing though but they do come with sick fades.

Thinking a new commuter build.
Would like
Steel frame & forks
Relaxed geo & low trail forks for front rack
Clearance for 650b 2.35/60mm tires
Disc brakes
Full mudguards
Internal cable routing
Flat bars
Dynamo lights front and rear
Single speed is fine, geared is also fine. Don't care if its heavy.
Any idea about what frames I should be looking at?
