We have MM_PLUGIN_ALLOWED_VENDOR_STRINGS for that very specific
purpose. During port probing, MM will try to match the provided vendor
strings against the vendor string reported by the module.

Could you try with the patch in the following merge request?
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/merge_requests/131

It should work as long as the module reports "quectel" as vendor string.
