No, in Debian architecture names “el” means little endian.

If you can consider running native big endian hardware for CI, then Debian’s
mips architecture would work, but other good choices are s390x and ppc64.

See https://wiki.debian.org/ArchitectureSpecificsMemo#Summary for the full
list of Debian architectures with their endianness.
