When using AirPlay, the subtitle settings of the receiving device are used, so adjust the subtitle settings there.

Change subtitle settings on Apple TV - Apple Support


For full-on closed captions (not just dialog, but also other sounds), use the Closed Captions setting instead.

Turn on closed captions and SDH - Apple Support


Of course that only works when those subtitles or captions are available in the stream, which may vary by content provider or program title.
