Lg monitor wakes everiy 10-20 minutes and Mac mini

I have a Mac mini M1 and a LG monitor 27UL850. When the monitor is connected to the Mac mini with the USB-C cable, I have the following problem:

When the Mac mini is in sleep mode, the monitor turns on and off every 10-20 minutes. There is nothing special on the screen and the Mac mini stays off. There is some activity in the log files, but the monitor should not rely on that. I find this problem very annoying and unnecessary.

Via HDMI everything works as it should, but then I cannot use the USB ports on the monitor.

I have already reset the Mac mini to factory settings a few times (wipe disk and reinstall OS) but without success. The problem occurs immediately after a clean install. Then, all in all, I had more than four hours of support from Apple Support without the desired result.

Does anyone recognize this problem? Or better, has someone a solution?

Thank you, den.thed. I have already tried this but without the desired result. Clean installation without peripherals and without Apple ID is also not the solution. BT off on keyboard and mouse is also not the solution.

@hvsitas, thank you for your comment, but this is not the solution for me.
