Lets start with this one - you can’t. The ZigBee protocol manages itself and you can not override it.
You are correct, this has been known for a long time in the community about the Xiaomi devices.
If you haven’t seen this thread @johnconstantelo posts a link to a good Hubitat article about this subject. (It applies) Xiaomi Devices dropping offline - #8 by johnconstantelo
Make no mistake about it - the incompatibility is with the Xiaomi devices - not your repeaters. If you decide to engineer around the issue (by changing repeaters) you will have to remember what you are doing to engineer around the Xiaomi limitations every single time you go to add a new device to your network. Personally, for me the cheap device isn’t worth years of headache. So I won’t use them.
