You eventually shared that you are using a 430EX flash, which makes the process fairly easy.
Starting with "Chapter 3: Wireless Flash" of the 430EX manual, you can learn how to place the 430EX in wireless slave mode. Then read the "External Flash Function Settings" section of the EOS-M6-MK2 manual. In case it isn't obvious, the M6 popup flash is used to trigger the external flash.
Works for my EOS-M6-MK1 / 270EX combination - with TTL metering too.
I believe that you are mistaken. The M6ii pop up flash does not have smart optical control or triggering capabilities. The only way to trigger an external flash with the EVF mounted as attested by multiple threads on this site is to use a third party flash with optical slave mode or a flash hotshoe mounted optical trigger receiver. Manual mode all around.
You are correct and I apologise - the internal flash can not be activated with the EVF in place. I was confusing one of my other camera systems with my EOS M cameras. When ever I want to use a TTL flash system, I use a 90EX on my M{3|6} in optical wireless trigger mode to fire my 270EX-2. For manual mode, any flash on / in the camera will be used to trigger other flashes.
