You are correct that your husband isn't eligible for form 2555 for 2022. However, 2555 is filed individually - one for each spouse. So you are still eligible. And your husband can take the foreign tax credit to reduce the taxes due by the amount of tax he pays on his European salary. You should wait to file your US return until both of you have filed whichever returns are required of you internationally in order to have the amount of that foreign tax credit handy. Then, as @Critter-# says, filing a joint tax return is better for you in almost every instance. ESPECIALLY if one spouse eliminates their income using form 2555 but still receives a standard deduction.
