Is there any pass that covers all public transport in Brussels?
If I'm not wrong, there are multiple service providers that cover different areas in Brussels. Is there any pass that covers all of them? Or do I have to buy a separate one for each different service provider?

Public transport in Brussels is run by one organisation as far as I can tell. Certainly I have used buses, trams and the metro using the same card

If you are there for a visit you might want to get the Mobib Basic card as outlined in the link I show. You have to pay a deposit and then load it with various options: single journeys, five or ten journeys, day tickets, ... If you have the five or ten jourey option loaded you can share the card between passengers.
If you want to travel outside Brussels the position is more complicated as you need to investigate De Lijn https://www.delijn.be/en/ which covers services in Flanders.

Answer 2
Coincidentally, I was in Brussels just a few days ago and can confirm that only a single ticket is needed. You can buy them from automated kiosks in any metro station and they give you plenty of options with various number of trips and validity periods.
For a day or even two, depending on the purchase time, buying the 24h card is very cost effective. Your 24h will start on the first tapping at the entrance of metro, tram or bus and each time you tap, it will tell you how much time you have left on the card. The cost is about 7.5 Euros IIRC.
Getting out of the city or commuting between train stations, as I've seen many people do, takes another type of ticket but the metro reaches the train stations too or close by, so this is not really needed within Brussels.
