Homepods will only announce reminders if you ask ie "What reminders do I have scheduled for today". There is no Announce Reminders in Settings on Homepod.

Hi, reminder announcements on HomePod only work when they're switched on in the Home app and the reminder has a time set.
Open the Home app, tap the HomePod, go to its settings and check that Announce Reminders is on. Also make sure your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi, Personal Requests is on, and the reminder is in the Reminders app with an alert time. If it still stays quiet, restart the HomePod by unplugging it for a minute.
