Netflix via Google Cast only finds the projector if the Netflix app is installed on the projector. But then I get the same error message as when I want to stream directly with the Netflix app: Your account is not authorised for this device. However, I have never had any contact with XGIMI customer service and my Netflix app is directly from the Play Store.... Workaround that works for me: Buy Chromecast Donge and connect it to the projector via HDMI.
I can confirm this just as Hanspeter has already said. Why should I stream from the phone if the Netflix app is already preinstalled on the thing anyway? Connect the device to the internet, log into the Netflix app and off you go.
