In a previous question (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/548738/special-character-oe-and-biblatex-with-xelatex), it was proposed to modify a part of the code to solve the problem. But the new code seems to be not compatible with the block code in the preamble relative to titlepage (which comes from Tufte-book documentclass). This block code is indicated "NEW" in the MWE above. This Bock code prevents compilation with XeLateX and leads to an error message: Package soul Error.

Thanks for your help to solve the problem.

    why are you using luatex85 with xelatex? Beside this: your document already errors at the maketitle. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 13 '20 at 09:49
  • If I don't add this code line, XelaTeX can't compile the document – Phil8544 Jun 13 '20 at 09:51

    luatex85 is for lualatex. It does nothing when loaded with another engine. Are you sure that you are using xelatex? – Ulrike Fischer Jun 13 '20 at 09:55
  • You're right, the code of the MWE is compiled without this code line, whereas in my document it is impossible! – Phil8544 Jun 13 '20 at 09:56
  • \ssffamily seems to be a typo for \sffamily. But fixing that does not resolve all the other errors one gets. – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 20:26
  • It seems that the real issue can be reproduced with a much smaller code example: https://gist.github.com/moewew/0f19027ba38581fdc6cd5e72a20cc29d – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 20:32
  • Tracking the problem down further leads to https://gist.github.com/moewew/f898960a2ad42838f91d98d6a35ed3ee – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 20:36
  • You can try the following fix \renewcommand{\allcaps}[1]{\expandafter\allcapsspacing\expandafter{\MakeTextUppercase{#1}}}% \renewcommand{\smallcaps}[1]{{\scshape\expandafter\smallcapsspacing\expandafter{\MakeTextLowercase{#1}}}}% – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 20:42
