It looks like the dns-over-https flag was added in Chromium 78.
Qt 5.14 (which is the latest release at the moment) is based on Chromium 77.
Qt 5.15 based on Chromium 80 is scheduled to be released on May 19th.

You could try the older flags instead:

  --qt-flag enable-features="dns-over-https<DoHTrial"
  --qt-flag force-fieldtrials="DoHTrial/Group1"
  --qt-flag force-fieldtrial-params="DoHTrial.Group1:server/https%3A%2F%2F1.1.1.1%2Fdns-query/method/POST"

(I also recommend using --temp-basedir for testing, then already open instances
aren't a problem).

I can't get it to work here (according to the https://1.1.1.1/help page) for
some reason. Even in Chromium, both old/new flags don't have any effect for me.
Not sure why.
