If your soundbar is connected to your TV,
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ TV →[HDMI eARC/ARC]→ soundbar
then select “TV Speakers” as Audio Output, and set your TV for audio passthrough to the soundbar. That sends the audio signal over HDMI as you would want.

I want it to come over optical output rather than HDMI
That makes no difference. It is still a TV setting.
