Just to close this off, I have resolved my problem with assistance from the eQSL helpdesk.
Tested and confirmed working.

The 3 parameters that need to be passed to eQSL are the callsign, the password, and the nickname.

In eQSL, I have a profile set up for my portable operation as VK3ANL/P, and another as AX3ANL for special events.
In the eQSL settings (Settings / External logs / EQSL settings) it asks for User ID, Password, and QTH Nickname.

I was making the error that "User ID" would be my log-in ID for eQSL (ie VK3ANL) [Because when I log in to eQSL through a web-browser, I log in as vk3anl, and then switch to the profile for that variant callsign. Seemed logical.]

This User ID is the actual callsign, such as VK3ANL/P or AX3ANL etc, as required.

Thanks Terry & Daniele.
I really appreciate your assistance.
Nick VK3ANL

FWIW, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.

I have a number of profiles. The one I'm trying to use has the nickname "Sifnos" as I'm operating as SV8/M5KVK/P. I'm getting the same symptoms.

Everything looks OK in eQSL.

Using my "home" profile wouldn't work in this case as I'm in a different country.

CRACKED IT

I noticed that the newly created eQSL account didn't appear in the list when I logged into eQSL as m5kvk. Then it struck me: even though I was thinking of this as being "user id"/"Password and that callsign just happened to be the "user id", actually, it literally wanted my callsign and password. In the newly created account the callsign is sv8/m5kvk/p

As soon as I amended the "User Id" field in the Log4OM upload screen to be sv8... it worked.

Looking back I can see that the answer was in an earlier post. Sorry for not reading thoroughly.
I'll go out and buy some new glasses tomorrow :-)
