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

 Tested with
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 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.

Comment:

 Hello @kohlermedia, welcome to WordPress Trac!

 Thanks for your report. I couldn't reproduce the issue on a clean install.
 In core we have no function that would replace the domain there.

 Try disabling all plugins and maybe activate a default theme to find the
 cause for this. For additional help, please try our
