This is not a fiber SFP, but rather a 2500Base-T RJ-45 module.
Hence it quite certainly has some kind of PHY.

I've tried only with one 1000Base-SX module and can confirm (like
Frank already did in your previous discussion some weeks ago) that
with that autonegotiation is working fine. Only those RJ-45 which
do not expose the PHY via i2c-mdio are problematic apparently, as
Linux/phylink *assumes* that they do in-band AN, but at least some
of them don't.
