Your phone is most likely a Chinese (CN) ROM variant. Xiaomi disables eSIM on CN units even when the same model has eSIM on the Global/EU SKU. Confirm by dialling *#06# — if there is no EID line, the device has no eSIM hardware enabled.
Use Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Manage eSIM > Add eSIM > Enter activation code instead. Paste the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your provider. QR codes are single-use, so request a fresh one if you have already scanned it.
