Hello!

I don't think there is an officially supported way, but you can temporarily modify the file inside the npm container /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini by running the command in the container
echo 'server = https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory' | tee -a /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini

After testing, just delete this file, because it wasn't there initially.

I checked, it definitely works for jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:2.12.6
In the log I see that staging endpoint is used
