I changed my passcode to alphanumeric yesterday. Since then, the phone remains unlocked, and the passcode screen never comes up. The required passcode is turned on and set immediately. How do I get the phone to lock and require the passcode?

By unlocked, do you mean your iPhone doesn't go dark after a period of time? Did you check Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto Lock - change how long the screen remains open there. Also, if your tag line is correct and you own iPhone 15 Pro Max, you can manually lock the screen anytime by simply tapping the side power button once. If you use Face ID, you won't have to enter your passcode when you unlock the screen. But you always HAVE to enter your passcode to update the phone, after you update the phone the first time to get back in and after you power off the phone and turn it back on. To power off an iPhone 15 Pro Max, press and hold either one of the volume buttons and the side power button at the same time, then swipe to power off when it appears.

I’m not the OP but that’s what is happening with my 13 pro. I just changed the passcode, my settings are set to immediately and the screen settings are set to lock the screen at 1 minute. My screen will go dark but now no longer requires the passcode to unlock my phone. It just opens.
So, I might be able to help you, but first, I need some info. Does the phone stay unlocked even if it is locked for a long period of time?
