You can parse the queue-id out of the topmost received header
prepended by Postfix.

There is no expectation that the first line of output is particularly
meaningful. This is not a well-defined interface, and scripts
might unexpectedly output some text before the intended audit output
(necessarily late in the script since you're reporting downstream
queue-ids for correlation, ...)
Logging it with postlog(1) from the script is far cleaner. Do that.
Upgrade to 2.11.1 if that's what it takes.
