Question:
If a person calls the adhan while not facing the qiblah, in the open land or in the desert,
Answer:
there is nothing wrong with that. Facing the qiblah is not required for the adhan; rather, it is a recommended practice. Especially since you said that he missed the qiblah, there is no blame on him, and his adhan is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
