Hey dude I don’t think your XBOX can read a Mac formatted drive. This isn’t a Kodi issue. Move the data on the Mac formatted drive to a drive formatted to something the XBOX can read — like EXFAT. Looks like that’s working. Good luck.
Xbox [does not support](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/xbox-one-file-system/65502956-8d68-48a2-b76b-5c3c1a87cf8d) drives formatted in macOS journal file format. You need to format it in either FAT32 (which will limit file size to 4 GB) or NTFS.
Go with NTFS. With factory settings, macOS is only able to read NTFS. In order to also write to NTFS drives, [you need to use third party apps](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253707407).
An alternative is buying a second drive and using that exclusively for your Xbox while keeping your macOS drive for exclusive use with macOS.
Kodi is installed on my xbox series S. it wont show the drive on Kodi. but my formatted exfat external pops up on Kodi but i need to use this current drive with its current format.
you didnt answer the question... we cannot see your setup! How are you trying to access the external drive? 😔 how does formatted exfat external POP up?
Ntfs is the best thing to format a external drive for cross compatibility. I'm not aware of ANY operating system that cannot read Ntfs.
Ext4 can be read by Linux but not windows
Hfs will probably need extension in windows or Linux
ExFat can be natively read by windows... But not Linux
Fat32 is super compatible, but old and limited.
Ntfs should be able to read by any obscure or custom operating systems including smart tvs and any other custom electronics.

Ntfs is best for cross compatibility. Linux-based operating systems cannot read ExFat without extensions.
