Is it possible that using rethink dns while wireguard on and some apps exclude from wireguard but using encrypted dns without private dns on?
With Rethink? Yes.
Use WireGuard in Advanced mode. Then add apps to be routed through it using the “Add / Remove” button in "Configure → Proxy → Setup WireGuard → (tap on the particular WireGuard profile)*.
If you’re on Android 12+, turn ON Configure → DNS → Split DNS if it isn’t, to make sure those apps setup to be routed through the WireGuard tunnel use WireGuard-provided DNS upstream.
The rest of the apps not setup to be routed through WireGuard should continue to use DNS setup in Configure → DNS.
