Here is the solution for you using clipboard:

import openpyxl
import pandas as pd
import clipboard as clp

#Copy dataframe to clipboard
df.to_clipboard()
#paste the clipboard to a valirable
cells = clp.paste()
#split text in varialble as rows and columns
cells = [x.split() for x in cells.split('\n')]

#Open the work book
wb= openpyxl.load_workbook('H:/template.xlsx')
#Get the Sheet
sheet = wb.get_sheet_by_name('spam')
sheet.title = 'df data'
#Paste clipboard values to the sheet
for i, r in zip(range(1,len(cells)), cells):
    for j, c in zip(range(1,len(r)), r):
        sheet.cell(row = i, column = j).value = c
#Save the workbook
wb.save('H:/df_out.xlsx')
