Your best bet is a combo solution here. Set Automatic Replies via mobile Outlook and set your Teams to Quiet Hours for the vacation. This will put your status as Out of Office to everyone and show your message to them in Teams when they try to mention or chat with you and also suppress notifications.
Hope this helps.P.S. I wrote a blog awhile back about some presence updates and it has a link to the original Out of Office setup if interested: https://webbtech365.blogspot.com/2019/02/updated-teams-out-of-office-presence.html
Oh well. It is what it is and I've got to work with the hand I'm dealt.
In that case, setting custom status message from inside of Teams (Mobile or Desktop) is your best option. You can choose to show people the message in the status similar to how Out of Office works and set an end time. Then set your Quiet Hours to suppress notifications and you should be good. Should give near similar experience.
