Is there a rule or something I can remove or something else I can change that will allow devices "inside" to talk to one another whilst still prohibiting outside access unless authenticated?

Depending on what you are after and how things are configured, there are multiple approaches to this. I'll assume that you have something like the following:

* Mikrotik Hotspot that is ethernet based
* External AP(s) that is(are) bridged
* Client devices that are just computers (i.e. NOT client bridge devices)

If that is your configuration, then the best approach is to simply add the APs to the hotspot's ip bindings and bypass hotspot for those devices. Also, you will need to ensure that the computer doing the management is logged into the hotspot BEFORE you try to manage the APs.
