The hand mixer might now have enough power for the kneading that brioche requires. You could burnout the motor. Not to mention, that the dough can become entangled in the beaters causing the hand mixer to stall and over heat.
You could try a no knead brioche recipe or use a Danish dough whisk.
Agree about not using the hand mixer. For what it’s worth, I (and I suspect generations of French women) have made this successfully by hand. If you know bread and gave patience, it’s really very easy.
