To connect Switch lite to TV, you will have to perform a quick workaround.

First of all, you will have to open the backside cover of the Nintendo Switch Dock.

After that, you will have to try connecting the USB plug from the top terminal of the dock to the Nintendo Switch AC adapter that has an AC Adapter label.
