We plan to go from Port Moresby to Thailand from August to Dec. Do you recommend the route from Torres Strait via the northerly island chain (from Tanimbur as entry point in Indonesia) to Bali? How should we proceed further when we plan to stop in Kumei and want to do more or less daysailing until Malaysia.

The logical route from Port Moresby to Bali is via Torres Strait and then south of the islands across the Timor Sea. From Bali you follow the direct route through Karimata Strait (west of Borneo).
