There are only scripting solutions right now based on pacmd and acpi calls. My pinebook pro needs a hack like this as well for when I want to use my headset.
So putting a script /etc/acpi/ should do the trick, but is a bit hacky.

Interesting, good to know it's not just me.
I'll switch my work laptop back to pulseaudio as being able to switch on plug/unplug is critical for my average day.
My personal laptop can stay on pipewire since I exclusively use Bluetooth there.
Hopefully it's a feature that'll be implemented soon.
I switched to pipewire recently and the experience for Bluetooth is amazing.
On an average day I have audio output set to HDMI while I listen to Spotify and work; when I plug in a wired headset for a meeting the gnome switcher dialog pops up but when I select headset, it doesn't work since moving to pipewire, output remains with HDMI and input from the laptop internal mic. I have to go into Sound every time and manually switch to headset out and headset mic.
It doesn't seem to have this issue if I'm not using HDMI output.
