Are there any out there? I can find quite a few with mains powered
sounders but they still have battery powered buttons.


I don't think you'll find what you're looking for because, IMO, that is
probably the worst idea I've ever heard for running something as
simple as
a doorbell. ;-)

I got a mains doorbell because I got fed up with the wireless bell
pushes packing up I had about four go intermitant or simply packed up
completely.
The mains one (including the wired bell push) has been faultless.

Added to that, on random occasions the wireless doorbell push would ring
when nobody was there. I assume that it was getting a stray signal
from somewhere.

I've been told car keyfobs can set them off. Plus you've got neighbours' doorbells.
