When I go to Google and enter add my site to import the site map it gives an error that the map is HTML not XML.  In search engine optimization in 1 - Settings I have selected to create the Sitemap Automaticaly:

When I go to the page properties and select expert to determine the format the choices I have do not align with Googles preference of xml, RSS, mRSS, and Atom 1.0, or Text:

None of these choices are the recomended alternatives for the sitemap.  Below is the link from Google on the options:

How can i get the X to give me the xml or something that is recommended by Google?

Page Properties > File Name Format: html

This is the normal setting and has nothing to do with the sitemap.

Google Search Console > Add new sitemap: mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml
