Xfce should work? Well it did in debian 10. If you have no need for the other desktop(s), then do what Nik suggested. Install no desktop at all. Just install debian base/network such that you don't install a desktop and then manually add TDE through the root command line (which is all you'd have at that point). It's reasonably easy, I've done it several times in the past, but it does require you to physically print out the TDE install instructions (or have a second computer to look at). Well, do expect typos :( , but they're easy enough to fix.
