Show the bearer info created while connected with "mmcli -b 0"; you'll
likely see that it says "ppp" as method to use and a TTY; that means
that you got the modem connected in TTY+PPP mode and you need to run
pppd on the connected TTY. There's no support currently in MM for the
etherdevice exposed by this modem.
