It looks like the Level 1 Spell you select is not able to be cast using a spell slot. In the UI the spell you select changes to "Use" rather than "Cast" but after you use it you can't then cast it.
"Choose a level 1 spell from the Cleric spell list. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have.
I can see in the latest versions of the app this has gotten some attention.
Now I can see the Level 1 spell I have selected as part of this feat has:
Visual indicator of uses (i.e 1/1 and then specifies it's coming from Magic Initiate: Cleric But!
If I select the "Use" button for that particular spell (on mobile app Android) I can't then later Cast it. The Use button is greyed out after use. As per the description: You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have.
The "choose any spell and cast with slots" thing is not supported for feats or items on D&D Beyond. It never has. If your chosen spell does not upscale with higher level casting - you can just check spell slots off manually.
If you want the spell to appear with higher level scaling showing on your sheet and roll appropriately when you click cast: you will need to make a subclass feature that does this.
I made a video showing how to do this (it uses fey touched as example but the process is same):
