Do you want an unstructured mesh, or do you want to also extrude the mesh? If it's the former, you can keep your methodology (with the OpenCASCADE kernel) and use BooleanFragments at the end to create a conformal geometry, with an internal surface shared by the two volumes - which will give you a conformal mesh. If it's the latter, you need to extrude (e.g. by rotation in your case) two surfaces joined by a curve, so that the internal curve will get extruded into the internal surface.
