bug: Error running "iex -S mix" when elixir/erlang plugins are set to system

[pennychase]

Describe the Bug

I set the elixir and erlang plugins to "system" in the parent directory. When I try to run "iex -S mix" iex fails to start. If the plugins are set to versions managed by asdf, iex starts normally and executes the mix.exs script

Steps to Reproduce

1. % asdf set -u erlang system
2. % asdf set -u elixir system
3. cd to any directory with an elixir project having a mix.exs file and no local .tools-version
4. % iex -S mix

Expected Behaviour

iex should have started correctly. It does if asdf managed versions are set:

% asdf set -u erlang 28.0.1
% asdf set -u elixir 1.18.4-otp-28
% iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 28 [erts-16.0.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]

Interactive Elixir (1.18.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)>

Actual Behaviour

With erlang and elixir set to system, there's an error and iex doesn't start:

% iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 28 [erts-16.0.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1] [jit] [dtrace]
