In the US a person using Mr./Ms./Mx. for someone who is a doctor is usually seen as a small insult or mircro-agression. Like the person is really saying the doctor isn’t a real doctor or, in the case of non-medical doctors, their extensive education doesn’t count.
I know you didn’t mean it that way, but it is a cultural quirk here and has been used as an insult against Dr. Fauci by right-wing jerks before
