French SFOS user here - both with XA2 and Pro1, and Hotspot works for me, on Bouygues Telecom.
I had Orange before and it worked as well.

Maybe that’s a restriction on your mobile plan? Does that work e.g. on Android or iOS?

A long time ago, I was unable to get a HotSpot working while using a SIM from LycaMobile (different phone, though, although that wouldn’t have mattered). Turned out their TOS specifically forbid sharing the internet connection and the provider had taken technical measures to prevent customers from doing so (which I finally was able to overcome).

So, yes, I second the reply from @cartron. First thing you should check is your mobile plan. It’s not unheard of that providers block tethering on a technical level.
