I tried that for a while with mull before it was announced updates would stop and I don't know whether it's incompetence on my end or my phone or what, but it wasn't working right. Didn't help that no matter what I did, my phone always wanted to put it in deep sleep mode.
Applications where the APK is not published alongside the source code in GitHub or whatever, and is instead only available through an F-Droid repo (like Mull), take some extra configuration to set up through Obtainium. Fortunately, there is this neat crowdsourced list of popular apps that require that type of extra configuration, where you can find an app like Mull in the list and quickly import its configuration into Obtainium
