There is no option to backup an iPhone Xs Max to iCloud without wi-fi.

Later models (iPhone SE 3rd gen and iPhone 12 & later) can be if the carrier gives the option. See the following from Back up iPhone - Apple Support


Note: On models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPhone using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.


An option that doesn't require wi-fi is to backup to a computer. See:How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
