There's no proof it has, and what little we have suggests BG3 isn't anywhere close.

Stats for either game are murky right now. There have been no official figures for TotK since June 30, a little over a month after the game came out, which cites the 15.5M sale mark (which is insane to do that in weeks). So we don't have sales data for 4 months since then, meaning it surpassing the 20M mark wouldn't be out of the question. Apparently, it's credited for moving 4M Switch units after it came out, which is nuts for a system 6.5 years old.

Meanwhile, the closest thing to "for sure" sales of BG3 is just over the 5M mark, on the PC. 1 tracker is suggesting it could as high as 20 million, and a few others are saying around 10M. No real figures for the PS5 can be found, but if the last official stat for the PC is 5M, it's not hard to imagine the PS5 sales being pedestrian in comparison.

So no, it doesn't appear BG3 has surpassed, or is even really close to TotK sales. Not really surprising, given the relatively unknown nature of the game until it dropped and hype helped boost it.
