You need to specify the information that will be added to the init packet in addition to the hex files, i.e.

nrf dfu genpkg softdevice_bootloader.zip --bootloader <name of bootloader>.hex  --softdevice <name of softdevice>.hex --application-version 0xFFFFFFFF --dev-revision 0xFFFF --dev-type 0xFFFF --sd-req 0xFFFE

Please see this InfoCenter page for more information on the usage of the nRF utility tool.

You can use the mergehex tool to merge any hex files. They are a lot of topics about this on the devzone, see for instance this answer.

As you said, you can use the nrfutil tool to generate a zip file. Do upgrade the software (bootloader, SoftDevice or application) over the air or through serial (HCI), a Zip image is needed.

Is this the correct command: nrfutil dfu genpkg sd_200_boot_v11.zip --softdevice s132_nrf52_2.0.0_softdevice.hex --bootloader nrf52832_xxaa_s132.hex
