I use Yoast SEO also and am trying to get Google Search Console to identify the auto generated sitemap_index.xml that isn’t physically in the web root, but needs to be accessed via some rewrite rules (I use Apache). So I followed this: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/xml-sitemaps-apache/. No luck.
I tried enabling/disabling the Sitemap feature in the Yoast plugin.
I tried switching options in Settings > Permalinks and saving again.
I tried some other tweaky stuff too.
I can access the sitemap_index.xml directly, but Google Search Console continues to have the 404 error.
I will too have to work out the sitemap with another plugin.
