Of course, you can add header filename, but it won't work, because proper header for download is:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.jpg"

So, you code should be:

return response()
     ->view('ordersxml.order-template',compact('order','debtor','today'))
     ->header('Content-Type','text/xml')
     ->header('Content-disposition','attachment; filename="test"'));
