I assume Wi-Fi is switched Off in your phone too.

Have you ever been able to download over Mobile data ?

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Clutching at straws but look at 

 

Long hold on your Wi-Fi icon in your pull down shade.

Tap on the 3 little dots in the top right hand corner and tap on advanced.

Turn on Switch to Mobile Data and then try again with the update.

I'm just wondering if this is caused by something being turned on in settings. I know it's a pain but have you tried to reset all settings and see if them options become highlighted again. I know I had something turned on once which made a setting become unable to toggle on. I just can't remember what it was I toggled on to cause it.

I've been having the exact same issue on my S22 Ultra!! its so frustrating!! The odd thing is, I had the S20 ultra and would download updates over data no problem!

I have always bought direct from Samsung and so have no idea why this is happening!

My S20, S9, S8, S6 and S4 all downloaded over data!! and I have a 5G unlimited plan too!!

it gets worse, because, I know people with the S22 Ultra that do NOT have this issue and they download over Mobile Data all the time! They need to change it or at least give us the option to change it!! why does it only exist for some models or is it a Kernel issue? why did my S20 Ultra allow it but not yours?

why does other S22 Utlras allow it but mine doesn't!

need an answer
