login_log_format_elements was defined, as documented by Timo, as:

with clients Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 and Windows Live Mail from a 

Windows Vista SP2 fully updated too, log is the same. There's no trace of compression being enabled.

See if you can get gnutls-cli from somewhere (gnutls-utils package I think?). Using the gnutls-cli command from my previous mail would show if your OpenSSL is at least able to use compression. Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't find any clients that are really able to use compression.
