This is how I would solve it, assuming you are using a table style event handling approach:

function addon:ADDON_LOADED(arg1)
    if arg1 ~= addon.name then return end
    -- do stuff here
    if IsLoggedIn() then
        self:PLAYER_LOGIN()
    else
        self:RegisterEvent('PLAYER_LOGIN')
    end
end
 
function addon:PLAYER_LOGIN()
    -- do stuff here
end

If you are running an if/else style event handler, just call the event handler function from the function itself, with parameters:

local OnEvent = function(frame, event, ...)
    if event == 'ADDON_LOADED' and ... == addonName then
        -- do stuff
        if IsLoggedIn() then
            OnEvent(frame, 'PLAYER_LOGIN')
        else
            frame:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_LOGIN'
        end
    elseif bla then
        -- Bla
    end
end
frame:RegisterEvent'ADDON_LOADED'
