I'm not sure if this is the same problem I had once, but it looks similar.
If you are running the update as a terminal command, my hosting company (running cPanel) suggested I ran this line of code in the terminal straight after I logged in and before doing anything else to set the location of composer.
alias composer='ea-php81 /opt/cpanel/composer/bin/composer'

I'm not a sysadmin and only use the terminal when I have to, so this may not apply to your hosting setup. But it might give you a start in finding the solution.
