This is a long-standing known issue [1] with LilyPond. You need to set the staff size before specifying any custom fonts because layout-set-absolute-staff-size-in-module rebuilds the font tree for the new staff size.

The best I can come up with is a hack that redefines the make-default-fonts-tree procedure:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

changeDefaultFonts =
#(define-void-function
  (roman-str sans-str typewrite-str)
  (string? string? string?)
  (define (proc factor)
   (make-pango-font-tree roman-str sans-str typewrite-str factor))
  (set! make-default-fonts-tree proc))

\paper { indent = 0 }

foo = {
  \mark \markup \sans Sans
  b'1^\markup \typewriter Mono
     _\markup \roman Serif
}
\markup {
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 15) } }
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 20) } }
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 25) } }
}
\changeDefaultFonts "Cambria" "Calibri" "Consolas"
\markup {
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 15) } }
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 20) } }
  \score { \foo \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 25) } }
}
