Did you find a solution for this?

SleekXMPP has been unmaintained for quite a long time; it's not likely you'll be able to install and use it with any modern version of Python. Try aioxmpp instead.

The issue for this is that in Python 3.10 or greater the collections library is deprecated and you have to change to: collections.abc,

A QUICK AND DIRTY HACK is:

Edit
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sleekxmpp/thirdparty/orderedset.py

And CHANGE as follows:
# import collections
import  collections.abc
collections = collections.abc

This fixes the operation of a program I am using so... it gets to the point I get on 20.04/3.9 python or less...
