does TLS support any of the lightweight cryptographic primitives defined in IOS/IEC 29192? like Clefia, Present or any others?

If you look at the TLS 1.2 cipher suites You will see that it is not containing any lightweight ciphers.

The TLS 1.3 actually has only 5 cipher suites. Due to the birthday attack on small block sized block ciphers, see sweet32, they are not even suitable for TLS, anymore.

The ChaCha20 as mentioned by Dave is a stream cipher.
