 The function witch generates the virtual robots.txt strips the path
 https://mydomain.com/sitemap.xml to /sitemap.xml.

 Tested with
 add_filter( 'robots_txt', 'robots_mod', 10, 2 );
 function robots_mod( $output, $public ) {
         $output .= "Sitemap: https://mydomain.com/sitemap.xml/\n";
         return $output;
 }
 in functions.php

 sitemaps.org notes
 "You can specify the location of the Sitemap using a robots.txt file. To
 do this, simply add the following line '''including the full URL to the
 sitemap''': Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml"

 Google search console marks a sitemap without full path as error.
