it looks bigger but the ******** is not placed in the middle and there is an annoying black circle around the user icon

theme: breeze bright

You can use

System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) > Advanced > Sync [button]

But I have always found KDE’s automatic scaling, DPI, etc somewhat … imperfect.

Personally I would put (depending on desired DPI) the following in /etc/sddm.conf.d/hidpi.conf

[Wayland]
EnableHiDPI=true

[X11]
EnableHiDPI=true
ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 120

Otherwise something like

is most likely a problem with the theme.
