This PowerShell snippet worked for me:

$dataGrid = ...    
$dataGrid.add_GotKeyboardFocus({
    param($Sender,$EventArgs)
    if ($EventArgs.OldFocus -isnot [System.Windows.Controls.DataGridCell) {
        $row = $dataGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex($dataGrid.SelectedIndex)
        $row.MoveFocus((New-Object System.Windows.Input.TraversalRequest("Next")))
    }
})
