if it’s clear that someone is trying to say it correctly (as would be said by anyone of the native language) even if they mispronounce it they get a pass

It's not about "getting a pass", it's about what's the best way to say it for a given audience. In most cases, that's how the language you're currently speaking says the thing. If you're a Brit, in London, talking to another Brit about Zaragoza, you shouldn't pronounce it the way Castilian Spanish speakers would say it because the person you're talking to is not likely to recognize the name when spoken like that.
