Is it safe to assume you are applying for a job?
As always, some context would help, but here goes…
In this case, I wouldn’t use either. I’d say “[Full Name] (not Mr. X) — unless of course your associate’s name literally is “Mr X” — referred me to you regarding this position”. Or, “[Full Name] recommended that I contact you about this position”, with a preference for the latter.
From the perspective of someone who has vetted plenty of resumes and cover letters, seeing the exact same phrasing over and over makes my eyes roll back in my head. The statement “I was referred by Mr X”, is one that makes me think that this action just kind of happened to you arbitrarily, and your association with Mr X is unclear. By adding the pronoun “you” and “the position” the sentence effectively changes to focus on what I hope you opened with — the purpose of your letter (AKA, getting the job)!
Please keep in mind some of this may not be appropriate outside of the US. In many countries it is considered extremely rude to use a person’s first name, unless they are one of your children, a subordinate from work, etc.
Obviously all this goes out the window if you have already addressed Mr X by his full name previously. But if you did that, why do you keep harping on Mr X??? Kidding… :D
Thanks for the A2A. I hope my answer helped!

What text should I write in an email for attaching a resume and having someone's reference for a job?
" I have been referred by Mr. X " or " I am referred by Mr. X"
This depends on the context and tone.
If you’re speaking to someone, and making an introduction — explaining how you found the job, or the doctor etc. — you would say ‘I have been’ (or use the contraction ‘I’ve been’).
And you probably need to insert ‘to you’.
For example:
“Hi, my name is Didi, I’ve been referred to Dr So-and-So by my GP. Can I make an appointment?”
“I am referred by…” is somewhat archaic and much more formal (despite what other answers have told you) in my opinion.
For example:
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Didi Bingham; I am referred by Mr X. to your business, for the position of such-and-such…
