Doesn’t matter where she was born, or if you registered the birth with a British consulate abroad.
How long ago was this?
Unfortunately, while if may be technically true that's not always the reality anymore.
A relative whose daughter was born in France had a nightmare obtaining a passport. Ultimately it was resolved by lots of threats of legal action and going to the papers.

2018 when I stopped getting involved, still get updates from friends in the biz.
Nationality law can be quite nuanced, but I was fully trained in it. HM passport office were a pain for us to work with more often than not, so not surprised it was a nightmare for them. How straightforward was your relative’s case?

It’s very much true and, unless someone is not doing their job properly, it’s the legal reality. Edit- apologies if this bit came out harsh, had a bit of a flashback to 2014/15 when HMPO fucked everyone over with their 700,000 application backlog...

Are you a British national by birth? If you were born in the UK to at least one British national parent, then 99.9% likelihood your daughter is also a British national. Doesn’t matter where she was born, or if you registered the birth with a British consulate abroad.
Happy to elaborate over PM if you want.
Source- used to do that stuff for a living.
PS- if she is entitled to British nationality thru you, you can just apply for her Brit passport straight away; it’s not necessary to register her birth with the UK or stuff like that. You will still need to provide original documents (apostilled and translated if they’re Polish).
