Short version: This won't work, and probably never will (sadly).
Unless your ISP feels like supporting a 3rd party ONT, which would be extremely rare, then you're probably stuck. I've had a play with one of these MikroTik SFPs and even took it with me to my LFC's (Local Fibre Carrier) test lab, and while they were fascinated with my interest and understanding, they said there's no chance in it ever being supported. The onboarding process for a new ONT is just far too tedious for most LFCs (most of it is probably politics), and unless they have a significant business case for it then they won't be interested in doing it.
As for the connector, from a quick Google it looks like your Huawei uses a UPC connector (blue), so it should be directly compatible with the MikroTik SFP (as opposed to APC, which are green). While physically I believe the two colours fit together (although it's been some years since I've tried it), the internals of the connectors are different and will likely result in significant attenuation.
If you really want an SFP ONT (which to be honest, who of us doesn't) then ask your ISP if this is a service that the LFC can provide. If so, they will supply you with a pre-provisioned SFP module. In my country this is only available with expensive enterprise connections - I'd assume that this is the case with most LFCs.

HTH.
