XFCE doesn't have a GUI login; you have to install one. I've used slim for years, on many computers.
Or you can just log in to the CLI and type 'startx.'
That's funny: I installed Buster on a Laptop just last week via netinst, and selected xfce (Expert Install menu), and got lightdm. What's different with the Original Poster? For example, did you forget to Select a Username?
