It seems to me ,that they mean the same thing.

Am I right or not ?

Thanks, for your help

Not necessarily.

'speaking of which' would relate to the current subject/person under discussion.

'by the way' might be uttered to introduce a topic which has no revelance to the current topic under discussion but something said during that discussion reminded the person of something else.
