Detect the number of monitors when xrandr doesn't detect when the monitor is off
I'm not sure about turning on or off, but there is a very nice project, https://github.com/troglobit/xplugd, that keeps a daemon running and reacting to when a display is connected or disconnected, or a keyboard or a mouse, and then runs a shell script which you can then run xrandr commands, for example. It won't be triggered on turning a monitor on or off, but it will work on disconnecting or connecting. It is also does not depend on your window manager, doesn't matter if it is Qtile or something else. It is a nice project, I use and really like it, but I'm not sure it is 100% what you want here. ):

But, Sway also supports a Wayland protocol which allows other applications to configure the displays instead. You can read it here if you want the gritty details. My preferred application to configure Sway's outputs is wdisplays.

Try wdisplays.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xplugd and wdisplays you can also consider the following projects:
xfocusnotify - X11-tool which exits when a window is focused and prints the respective window-id.
wdisplays - GUI display configurator for wlroots compositors
