On macOS (and iOS), you have to use Safari. When you are filling out the form, usually it should show a list of common emails to auto fill but you can scroll to the bottom and select “hide my email” to generate one.
Some website forms are not configured correctly or use janky HTML hacks (so it’s not recognized as an email field), so you have to generate it manually as you describe.
Tried a couple of sites, it didn't work. Nothing happened on clicking, other than activation the insertion cursor.
strange, are you on macOS 12 or later?

This works as expected for me. I have tested this on lemmy.world sign up page as well
