I'm sorry, I think I explained myself wrong.
CFUN=4 is ok for radio off, I wanted to say that some plugins might not
use CFUN=4 for "power low".
In Telit modem, as example, I might use CFUN=5 "mobile full
functionality with power saving enabled" and CFUN=4 for power off, but
doing so "nmcli radio off" won't shut down the radio (without rfkill).

Why do you need the modem to be totally off?
In power low I could expect that the modem goes in some kind of
power saving
configuration but still connected to the network, it really depends
on the
modem capabilities, and when rfkill is not available, the modem is
only set
in power low, which may not be the same as radio off.
I totally understand the problem though, modems that use CFUN=0 to
power off
are not listening to any command to put them ON again.
I will look better to rfkill, but I still see a possible
misunderstanding
between power low intended as radio off and power low intended as
power
saving.
Is there any case in which CFUN=4 doesn't mean radio off? Maybe we
got it wrong.
