So, I just tried and I don’t understand your problem. Pasting the whole <svg> block as the brand inside the SVG.toml and setting the siteBrandSVG = true in the config.toml worked just fine.
As reference, your logo as I pasted in the SVG.toml:
brand = '<svg version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="400.000000pt" height="343.000000pt" viewBox="0 0 400.000000 343.000000" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"> <g
