A few days ago I discovered an interesting bug with Canon Vixia HF800
The camera would only record audio with external microphone if headphones are plugged in. If external microphone is plugged in, but not headphones, then the camera would record audio on internal microphone.

Fortunately I found Automatic Gain Control plugin for audacity, and it basically saved the audio. The audio is not nearly as good as if it were recordred with my Rode, but at least it now legible.
The plugin can be found here -- https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=68501
The only custom setting I've used -- squelch threashold level was set to -40db.
