Have you tried using unbreakable spaces instead?
123 456 789,12
I'm curious to know if a screen reader can read that correctly.

Maybe a number element would be valuable, both inside and outside
formulas, to provide format-neutral machine-readable numeric values:
<n value="123456789.12">123 456 789,12</n>
But it surly seems a little overkill to write each numeric value
twice. Duplicating values seems prone to errors. So maybe a number
with a decimal separator attribute would be a better approach:
<n dec=",">123 456 789,12</n>
Beside that, it could provide data on other kinds of numbers too:
<n base="16">329F 2CA0</n>
