ok, try again...

in pure DOS mode:
- comment or skip by F8 string DEVICE=DISPLAY.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, if exist,
- remove or rename LOGOW.SYS and LOGOS.SYS files,
- set Logo=0 and Bootgui=0 in MSDOS.SYS:

[Options]
BootGUI=0
Logo=0

- extract WINEXIT.BAT, FDAPM.COM, WIN.ENG to WINDIR,
- rename WIN.ENG to WIN.COM with replace,
- reboot machine
- run WIN.COM:

C:\>win

- wait desktop, press Alt+F4, select Shutdown.

now u should see black DOS screen with executed WINEXIT.BAT.

Step 1 is equivalent to hanging at the "Safe to turn off" message.

Step 2 violates the thread title!

Use a hot key to invoke FDAPM POWEROFF in MS-DOS mode.

1 - go from Windows to MS-DOS;(shutdown\exit the Windows)

so it was impossible until my patch for win.com.
for marketing cheats "Windows 95 is not DOS!" ms forced apm turn off procedure instead termination win.com (and make many other stup[id cheats in io.sys and win.com).
yes, there is some other patches for win.com that do like exit in dos.
but this patches do wrong way - they remain little resident code of win.com. my - not.

if u remove or modify WINEXIT.BAT - u get true termination win.com, and pure DOS after exit, w/o resident win.com code.
but if u have use usb kbd and/or mouse in windows - it does not work after that exit, until reboot.
