Label overlaps when zooming out in QGIS3

Question

I would like to have my label at a fixed distance to the object despite the zoom level.
The problem is, that I cannot really set the right place for it, as it's being constantly overlapped when zooming out and too far from my object when zooming in.

Looking on the E11 label above, you can see, that it's too far at the biggest zoom level and overlays the point, when zoomed out.
I found some solution here:
Making labels stay at some defined position in QGIS?
which states, that I must set XY coordinates for it, but I've already got them.

Is there any way to keep them at some defined position against the object?

Setting the label's placement like underneath will have the label 'visually' 3 millimeters under the point (you might to make it more than 3 millimeters depending on the size of point symbology),  regardless of the scale
(again, sorry for the french ui, but things should be in the same spots)
