auth_policy_server vs client_id and x-originating-ip

I run into troubles when trying to set up auth_policy_server in Dovecot 2.3.10.1. It works almost as expected but I cannot get client ID in this process. By setting up "imap_id_log=*" I see in log that Dovecot gets details about mail client like name and version: May 31 14:20:58 mail dovecot
