I have this problem too.

Unity 2021.3.16f1
Mobile Ads Unity plugin 7.1.0-7.3.x
Android API level 31-33

Solution:

Build Settings > Player Setting > Publishing Settings > Custom Progurard File

proguard-user.txt:

-keep class com.google.unity.** {
   *;
}
-keep public class com.google.android.gms.ads.**{
   public *;
}
-keep public class com.google.ads.**{
   public *;
}
-keepattributes *Annotation*
