Try to set two different DPIs in that.

You certainly can, but the problem is that there is no agreed standard from the toolkits to do it. E.g. Qt has its own way.
Why does QT needs to be smarter ? Just asking.
Qt runs on platforms where there is literally only a kernel + the Qt app running, through for instance EGL for rendering. So it has to have its own way.
I don't have a second monitor right now to double check, but I have this in a script for our office monitors to get a different dpi for one display (named eDP-1):

  xrandr --dpi 100/eDP-1
