An iTunes account is an Apple ID. If you have a secondary Apple ID, but your Apple Music subscription is tied to the first one, then you need to sign in with your original iTunes account / Apple ID on the iPhone.

Go to Settings ➜ Apple ID, scroll to the bottom and sign out. Then sign in with your iTunes account.

Repeat the process in Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ Media & Purchases, Settings ➜ Messages ➜ Send & Receive ➜ Apple ID and Settings ➜ FaceTime ➜ Apple ID
