To backup an iPhone with iCloud, it has to be manually configured to do that and the device has to be powered on, connected to wi-fi, and the screen locked. While you can manually create an iCloud backup, that has to be done on the device itself, which you obviously cannot do. An iTunes backup also requires you have the device in-hand.


There is no way to create an iCloud backup of your device in the condition it is in, stolen and powered off. you can think what you wish, but it is not possible. Even if you were using iCloud photos, if it is powered off, then cannot be uploaded to iCloud. I'm sorry, but there is nothing you can do.
