Yes, NetworkManager passes its own configuration to wpa_supplicant via
D-Bus. You should be able to see the configuration in NM logs; on my
machine for example I see:

 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'ssid' value 
'home'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'scan_ssid' 
value '1'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'bgscan' value 
'simple:30:-70:86400'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 
'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'auth_alg' value 
'OPEN'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'psk' value 
'<hidden>'

You could try to see if the same configuration works with
wpa_supplicant alone.

Regarding iwpriv parameters, NM doesn't support them. But if you set
them manually before connecting with NM, I guess they should work.
