You need to use ACF’s acf/save_post action hooks for this. I have seen this code somewhere here in the forum, but can’t find the link to that, so I’m pasting it below:

function ps_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    // Don't do this on the ACF post type
    if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'acf' ) return;

    // Get the Fields
    $fields = get_field_objects( $post_id );

    // Prevent Infinite Looping...
    remove_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post' );

    // Grab Post Data from the Form
    $post = array(
        'ID'           => $post_id,
        'post_type'    => 'post',
        'post_title'   => $fields['new_title']['value'],
        'post_content' => $fields['new_description']['value'],
        'post_status'  => 'publish'
    );

    // Update the Post
    wp_update_post( $post );

    // Continue save action
    add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_save_post' );

    // Set the Return URL in Case of 'new' Post
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink( $post_id ) );
}
add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'ps_acf_save_post', 10, 1 );

new_title is a my custom field to be replicated for the Title and new_description for the content.
