I would rule the same way as DM because of the line, “shines down in a 5 foot radius, 40 foot tall cylinder”. To me that indicates that there has to be 40 feet above the ground for Moonbeam to work. The same with Call Lightning, it needs a path to the open sky to work.
But there are other great spells for Druids to use when they’re inside.
Would you rule the same with for example a fireball thrown into a room smaller than 40 feet in radius?
Yeah, thats true. It wouldn't make sense for moonbeam not to work indoors but also allow fireball to work indoors. Although, if you are smart, you wouldn't be casting fireball in a room that has less than a 40 foot radius. However, if you do, the spell would still work.
Well, as long as no-one you cared about is in the room... ;)

There are no restrictions in the text that say it doesn’t work indoors. I’d rule that maybe it would do structural damage to the building or it would just fit to the size of the ceiling if it’s less than 40ft high, don’t know which I’d choose lol.
