Comment (by ballapete):

 A few minutes ago I had a similar problem (`xelatex` did not understand
 `polyglossia`, `texdoc` did not find `texlive.tlpdb`). Since I had
 migrated from an old unsupported MacBook with High Sierra to one with
 Catalina and had to reinstall MacPorts, the MacPorts installer put into my
 `~/.cshrc` a new PATH setting with `/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin` in
 front of `$PATH`. Which is wrong, because I have `TeX Live` and the
 `MacPorts TeX Live` and know to handle these two.

 `xelatex` failed because of a setup not visible in `MacPorts TeX Live`,
 and because I invoked `texdoc` as
 `/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-darwin/texdoc` utilities from
 `MacPorts` were chosen for execution. Confusion was the result.

 So it's possible that you have mixed up path settings… They might even be
 different in login and in shell/Terminal environment…
