XMLRPC is typed. It generally doesn't automagically convert types. You 
are passing a string instead of dateTime.iso8601 type.
Compare http://xmlrpc.scripting.com/spec.html

Basically you pass a string 
'<value><string>2019-10-30T15:26:54<string></value>' instead of datetime 
value 
'<value><dateTime.iso8601>20191030T15:26:54><dateTime.iso8601></value>'.

How to pass the correct type of object depends on the client you use. 
For instance, if you use the python xmlrpc client you would have to use 
the python DateTime type for the parameter.
See https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.client.html

I don't know which client language you use.
