_quarto.yml not loaded

[rgaiacs]

Description

I have the following files in my directory:

./index.ipynb
./index.aux
./index.log
./index.tex
./index_files
./index_files/mediabag
./index.md
./index.qmd
./_quarto.yml

_quarto.yml has

format:
  pdf:
    pdf-engine: lualatex

Run quarto render index.md --to pdf --output index.pdf results in

pandoc --output index.tex
  to: latex
  standalone: true
  pdf-engine: xelatex
  variables:
    graphics: true
    tables: true
  default-image-extension: pdf

Note that pdf-engine should be lualatex.

I tried different things and the problem continues. Any help?

Update

A minimal working example is provided at #6583.
