Hi,
there is a known issue when the machine type is i440fx (fix is in the works), but it should work when the type is q35. Could you please post the full configuration qm config <ID>. Has the VM been newly created or was it in use before?

vmgenid: 6588926d-a6e7-4b42-b300-cbedcb79c7a5

the vm is newly created
 
I'm not able to reproduce the issue here as long as the machine type is not i440fx. Could you check the integrity of the OVMF files with
Code:
debsums -s pve-edk2-firmware
(you might need to install debsums first)? If there is no output, please try re-creating the VM again.

If it still doesn't work, please post more information about your host.
