I used 0.8 sec, f/5.6, ISO 6400 at 400 mm and with a 7D. Still not enough light.
If I would do it again I would try to take 20 pictures at shorter shutter speed and stack them in post.

This was taken during the last partial eclipse in 2019 using a 5D mark IV with a 100-400mm L II and EF 1.4x extender. My settings are similar to that of Peter. Unfortunately, the T7 isn't known for it's high ISO quality (I have a T7i) so if you use our settings, you might get lots of noise, and the 75-300 [edit] might not be as sharp as you want (I have that lens), but you should get acceptable results so don't let my comments deter your efforts.
As mentioned, stacking is your best bet to get better resolution, even with the 75-300, but that requires a post editor, like PohotShop, that has layer merge or you can get a plugin for GIMP (free). There are several free image stacking editors, but they are pretty hard to use. You would just need to convert your Raw shots to tif in DPP, then stack them (not to be confused with Focus Stacking). The concept is by taking multiple images of the same object, more detail begins to emerge when they are combined. I'm not even going to go into trackers since I know you don't have access to such a devive, but that would be ideal combined with stacking.
Anyway, look at Peter and my settings as a good place to start. Get confortable and take lots of shots.
1 second exposere, f/8, ISO 4000, spot meter, 560mm, processed in DPP 4. Full frame.
Cropped. Note that the stars are streaked from the 1 second exposure. The lack of sharpness is from the earths rotation, hence the need for a tracker.
