If the battery has switched off due to low voltage you may need to activate it with another charging source.

Some inverter/chargers are not capable of 'waking up' a battery that has shut down due to bms protection. Victron inverters are not designed or intended to be used in systems without batteries which is essentially what you have if the bms is in protection. I do not know if the mp2 is capable of waking it up. Hopefully someone else in here will be able to clarify that for you. Sorry I just don't know the answer to that. You might check your manual under the charging section and see if it mentions it.

Edit: I've just scanned over my MP2's manual and I was not able to find an answer. If you have a battery charger available it would only take a minute to test it to see if that's what you need to do.

You could wake-up the Pylontech via an external switch. There are some pins on the console connector to do this. This is well documented.

To do this you must have of course some connectivity and a device that makes the switch momentary. I'm planning to do the same with a simple Shelly wifi switch.

The question remains if the MP2 will wakeup when the power is restored.
