Right, they are.

As a workaround, use a trivial shell script (with sed -i) to rewrite the
IP address in the place you currently want to pass it through the
environment.

In sip.conf :

#include sip-externip.conf

sip-externip.conf:

externip = 1.2.3.4


A command to rewrite it:

sed -i "/^externip/s/=.*/= $MYIP/" /etc/asterisk/sip-externip.conf
