Yes, you can get the eventhub-compatible connection string of an IoT Hub with the following command:

az iot hub connection-string show -n <IoT Hub name> --default-eventhub

Do note that this reference is part of the azure-iot extension for Azure CLI and requires version 2.0.70 or higher.

As elaborated by @Stefan below:

One thing to note is that by default this command returns the connection string for the iothubowner policy. Use the --policy-name parameter to specify the shared access policy explicitly, for example:

az iot hub connection-string show -n <IoT Hub name> --default-eventhub --policy-name service
