Expo CLI 'upload:ios' does not use my app specific password using CI with apple account that has 2 factor auth

I can't make expo use my app specific password, it keeps prompting to verify using SMS

expo upload:ios --non-interactive --config "./path.to.my.config.json" --language English --sku $(SKU) --apple-id $(APPLE_USERNAME) --apple-id-password $(APPLE_PASSWORD)

[06:45:17] Resolving the ITC team ID... Two-step Verification (4 digits code) is enabled for account 'some@account.com' More information about Two-step Verification: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204152

Please select a trusted device to verify your identity 1. +•••••••• XX SMS

That doesn't work for me because I use a CI agent.

My apple account is Admin role and I have tried setting following ENV variables with my app specific password

• FASTLANE_APPLE_APPLICATION_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD
• EXPO_APPLE_PASSWORD

I use expo v. 36.0.0, and it is a managed expo app and expo-cli v. 3.13.1

I can see other people get some other output than I do.

E.g:
