Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN. 


Also, make sure your phone has the latest carrier customization settings→Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If neither of these solve the problem contact your carrier, as the personal hotspot is managed by your carrier.
