For everyone else the role of wizard is held a priest.
The greenskin have their shamans as their wizards
The ogres have their butchers who are wizard-cook-priests and the firebellies who are just priests
Dwarfs don't have priests and therefore no wizards
Chaos Dwarfs DO have priests and those guys are wizards
In Nehekera lich priests are wizards and as clearly evidenced by their name priests
For Lizardmen their wizards are the Slann (Priestly caste), and skink priests.
Skaven are half and half, in that technically they have other wizards but their main WIZARD guys (Grey seers) are also priests.

Is it because elves were the only ones with a secular magical tradition and the empire got their magic tradition from elves.

Ah but Keld, I hear you say, don't the vampires have secular mages? Surely I'm not counting necromancers as clergy.
Well fear not hypothetical person, the vampire counts are part of the empire and are therefore part of "human" culture.

What about Kislev, Araby and Bretonnian. Their mages are basically holy maiden priests or divine teachers?

Humans.

And Damsels are priestesses of the lady

And araby isn't real. It basically just exists to be a place that people go to kill people in their backstory, which is messed up.
