I tried EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MXPV", EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, MXPV.GetCombatState(event));

MXPV.GetCombatState <-- assigns this function to the event handler
MXPV.GetCombatState(event) <-- calls this function with event as the first argument and assigns the result of that function call to the event handler

You want this:

function MXPV.GetCombatState(event, inCombat)
     if inCombat then
          --do stuff
     end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MXPV", EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, MXPV.GetCombatState)

or this:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MXPV", EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, function(event, inCombat)
          if inCombat then
               MXPV.GetCombatState(inCombat)
          end
     end)
