While I don't know the answer to your question, I would highly recommend using KeePassXC for it's browser integration if nothing else. It's a super easy switch to make since KeePassXC uses the same database format as KeePass.

Why KeePassXC instead of KeePass?
KeePass is a very proven and feature-rich password manager and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it. However, it is written in C# and therefore requires Microsoft's .NET platform. On systems other than Windows, you can run KeePass using the Mono runtime libraries, but you won't get the native look and feel which you are used to.
KeePassXC, on the other hand, is developed in C++ and runs natively on all platforms giving you the best-possible platform integration.
Why KeePassXC instead of KeePassX?
KeePassX is an amazing password manager, but hasn't seen much active development for quite a while. Many good pull requests were never merged and the original project is missing some features which users can expect from a modern password manager. Hence, we decided to fork KeePassX to continue its development and provide you with everything you love about KeePassX plus many new features and bugfixes.

The security aspect of KeePassXC is phenomenal. The database file is protected using strong encryption with many rounds, and it supports two factor authentication (key file / password / hardware key).

Yeah, I switched from KeePass to KeePassXC when I switched from Windows to Linux for just that reason. However XC does have some other features that might be worth switching for:
browser extension for autofill (more convenient than auto-type, IMO)
TOTP (i.e. 2 factor authentication equivalent to Google Authenticator, etc.) from a password database that you can back up
easily check for duplicate passwords and passwords compromised by data breaches
easily download site icons to make your DB prettier :)
Yep! However if your database is in an old format then XC will upgrade it [src]. But the upgrade is to the same format that KeePass uses (KBDX 3.1/KBDX 4), so it will still be compatible with...

And you can always make a backup to be extra safe :)

It's a bit messy, but I used to use autotype to log me in to Feedly (RSS Feed reader) which has a pop-up login. Basically, I made a custom auto type to that included a bunch {TAB}'s {ENTER}'s and a few {DELAY}'s. Here is what I had working for Feedly, you'd obviously need a custom solution for whatever site you need to log into:
Up to the first delay, I'm navigating through the home page to the Log In button and then selecting it with enter, then up to the next delay, I'm navigating through the pop-up to my chosen login type (in this case email, instead of Google or Facebook), selecting with enter, and then finally entering username and password to log in. The delays are there to make sure it doesn't start typing until the pop-up has loaded in.
I suggest you make a different database with a different master password for the TOTP if you decide to use that feature. Personally, I don't use the browser extension because the auto-type feature...

Personally, I don't use the browser extension because the auto-type feature works so well. It even works with other software or games outside your browser.

I was unfortunately unable to find an up-to-date guide, but in this one the part "Storing TOTP codes in your KeePass database" might give you an idea how it is done.
Before that you would have to create a new database, add a new account entry, right clicking on the entry and selecting to "Set up TOTP".
