What is showing its age on your v60? I still use, and recommend, a Samsung Note 10 Lite. It has a headphone jack and that terrific stylus built in. It's on Android 12 and has no lagginess issues that even new phones have. There is an Android 13 update too, but I have not updated yet.

My Samsung Galaxy A14 has a headphone jack. Not a top-end phone, but does what I need it to
After years with Samsung I jumped ship a year ago and got the Xperia 1 IV. Been pretty happy with it since. Feel pretty good in hand and has both SD card and headphone jack, camera is half decent though it does take some getting used to.
I have a Zenfone 8 and absolutely love it. I think the 9 still has a headphone jack, too. It's small, and I have small hands, so it's perfect for me.

I was asking for the same thing in a Samsung store, and there was a phone that is usually for entreprise and first responders. Galaxy XCover6 Pro SM-G736BZKAXSA This one has a 3.5 Jack, and, If I am not mistaken, a swapable battery.
Maybe the Xperia 1 V? https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1_v-12263.php
I have the 1 IV and I really like it except that it's prone to overheating when using advanced camera features. The V is said to have resolved the heating issue.
The catch is that Sony devices aren't usually subsidized by carriers, so you'd have to be willing to pay full price on Amazon et al.
There would also be an Xperia 5 V release upcoming as well which is a compact version of the flagship with a lower pricetag. The 5 IV had a 3.5mm jack so I would imagine the V will as well. https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_5_iv-11838.php
It may be on the older side, but I've been using my Pixel 4A for three years or so, no complaints. I also use the headphone whenever possible. Also using GrapheneOS.
You may want to check out the Pixel 5A (also has a headphone jack if I'm not mistaken) for a bit of a newer phone, but the one I got used seems to have a band issue in which it would forcefully shut down after some time with my SIM card.
my pixel 4a is still kicking it
I do need to back it up and factory reboot tho, I think that might help some of the typing issues that have come up recently.

Have you considered a separate PMP or cheap smartphone to use for falling asleep to podcasts? I too enjoy wired headphones, but I think that limiting myself to that scope for my daily driver smartphone will most likely result in some other compromise that I don't want to make. So I have wired headphones for the use cases where it's required, and have wireless headphones to listen to music from my phone.
Ha, that's a great idea.
I even have some old phones laying around.
Never even thought of that lol.
Poco X3 pro (xiaomi) is really good
Not what you're asking for, but you can get Bluetooth or USB adapters, which will let you use 1/8th inch tip-ring-sleeve headphones with any phone, which may also solve your issue.
