You could install one. Try LightDM. Uncompressed Size: 852 k, plus whatever
deps.

I don't know the middle of the chains of events that gets an X sessions
started, whether via DM, or startx, only some start and end points. I booted up
a
Bullseye installation to multi-user.target, logged in, then ran startx, and got
this:
# ls -alrtgG | tail -n9

drwxr-xr-x 27 4096 Mar 16 21:23 ..

Next I rebooted to graphical.target, logged in, and got this:
# ls -alrtgG | tail -n9
drwxr-xr-x 3 4096 Feb 9 20:36 .mc
drwxr-xr-x 27 4096 Mar 30 20:39 ..
