I have a website hosted in Wix and as you may know it automatically keeps a sitemap there (sitemap.xml).

Now that I activated https to my site, I read I should add another property on Google Search Console for the https address.

The thing is that both properties on Search Console (http and https) points to the only sitemap version Wix provides. If you look at it all URLs are https.

So now I have a http property containing a sitemap with https urls?

Is this normal? How does Search console deal with that?

As Google's John Mueller says in The Sitemap Paradox, one thing that Google uses your sitemaps for is dermining which URLs are canonical. If a URL is listed in a sitemap, Google will prefer that URL over others with duplicate content.

That means that your sitemaps only containing HTTPS URLs is a a good thing. It will mean that Google will prefer to index the HTTPS version of your website. There are slight ranking benefits for HTTPS and it is much better for users from a security standpoint.
