There's a couple ISP branded units that fit those parameters, with caveats. (Mostly around OpenWrt installation difficulty and the always in development state of brand-new 11be platforms)

However due to the price (Depending on availability in the 2nd hand market, it's very possible to get tri-band 11be routers for USD$50-100, usually with one or two 10GBaseT interfaces), there are still quite a few that overlook some of the difficulties involved.

Normally this should be handled by a hotplug.d script in /etc/hotplug.d/ but I'm not familiar with the stock Mikrotik firmware.
