The HomePod related to a Cable Internet wire

When a Internert cable wire pluged into the Macbook, the HomePod Couldn't connect. When cable unpluged, the HomePod can be connected Manually.

I need HomePod connected when the Internet wire cable is on.

You cannot set up the HomePod without access to Wi-Fi and the Internet. Once configured it is possible to AirPlay from an iOS device to HomePod over an ad hoc connection that doesn't need an additional Wi-Fi access point. See the Change AirPlay settings section of Change settings for HomePod - Apple Support. Using Everyone, probably with Require Passcode, should do the trick. Whether or not your Mac will attempt to use the Wi-Fi connection when it has a wired connection is another matter.
