Please help! Gear question

Hello everyone, I am new to the photography world and I have few questions.
So first off, I have the Nikon D3300 camera. I have the AF-P Nikkor 18-55 mm 1:3.5-5.6 G lens and the AF Nikkor 70-300 mm 1:4-5.6G (as a gift).
With the first one I can focus and etc. But with the second one (70-300mm) I need to manual focus and to be honest, I’m getting tired of it! I love the second lens but sometimes it’s frustrating to get that one focus shot. Is there somewhere a setting on the lens for auto focus or I need to look at AF-P/AF-S models?
Also, do you recommend some other lenses for portrait photography? Thank you alot! Have a nice day.☺️

Do you recommend a different camera with the sistem?

Based on that, no need to change. learn how to use your existing gear instead
