Illaoi's empowered attack (W) can be canceled even if it was written in patch notes 7.23 that it cannot be("Empowered attack can no longer be canceled."). Possibly any knockup cancels it: Sion's Q, Aatrox's Q and W. Steps:

Attack champion with empowered W attack.
Time so that other champ casts knockup during Illaoi's attack window(gap-closer/dash)
Illaoi doesn't deal damage.

I think that means Illaoi can't cancel the attack by moving before the animation is finished. She can still be interrupted by enemies.

"canceling" means specifically the player of the champion canceled it.

Any type of non-instant mobility can be interrupted by knockups/displacement and her W does have that small leap so it's unsurprising that it can be interrupted. Every dash/leap I can think of will lose its effects if it is interrupted like for example Xin's E won't deal damage or slow if you stop his dash.
