Hey after instaling miui 12 and reverting to miui 11 (20.1.16) i had a problem with autorotate in yt browser and etc. I checked all linked with this option in phone and nothing helped. Some have similar situation ? Btw i checked magnetic sensor and its not working
 
Based on my experience you may have a wrong or corrupt Persist partition because of the downgrade.
You can try re-flashing this partition to see if it fixes the problem, you won't lose any data by doing this.
To do this, download the latest Fastboot-ROM for your phone (Mi Mix 2S): https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.4.0...M_20200325.0000.00_10.0_global_82f39e53fd.tgz
Extract the folders until you get to the 'images' folder.
Copy the file 'persist.img' inside this folder to whatever you use to install zip files in your recovery (USB-OTG/Internal storage).
Flash the image under TWRP -> Install -> Install Image and select the Persist option. If you do not see this option you may have to install another recovery like OrangeFox or Batik recovery.
