You are right, but in your context your meaning is different:
Look at the difference:
With purpose is the feeling of being determined to do or achieve something
Example:
She wrote with purpose.
On purpose means in a way that is planned or intended or in a deliberate way
Example:
Someone set the fire on purpose.

I found it in an original text, purposefully 😉 written by a native speaker!
