Yeah, any atmosphere you give Mars will evaporate over some millions of years.

The obvious workaround is to regenerate it at the same rate. Much like a tire you need to reinflate it now and then.

Humanity will also probably figure out some better tech during the next million years, but even if not, this should work.
