Thanks for reporting that DHCP relay function of dnsmasq works.

Please share the whole FreeRadius DHCP server configuration file with us. 
In the mailinglist archive ( 
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2021q2/015180.html)
is currently only the incomplete (and "broken") configuration.
It is a good thing to give the mailing archive a working version.
The complete version shows where to insert the extra settings
and which syntax.

Yes, compliments to Nicolas for diagnosing the problem.
