Tiels usually wean at about 8-10 weeks so she should be eating other things by this time. Sometimes baby birds regress when they go to a new home and need handfeeding again, so you might have a situation like that on your hands. If you can, talk to the breeder that you got her from and ask for advice, or talk to an avian vet.
If it was me and I didn't get any advice to the contrary, I wouldn't make egg food available all the time so she has more reason to try other things. But I would still put it in the cage for part of the day to make sure she gets enough to eat. I would also weigh her every day to make sure that she doesn't lose weight.
If she was hand fed, try holding some of the new food in your hand and let her explore it. Hand fed babies associate human hands with food, so maybe she'll get the idea. Also try spreading some of the new food out on a table top for her to explore - tiels are ground feeders in the wild and this type of eating often comes more naturally to them than eating from a cup.
Hopefully other people here will have suggestions too!
