command 'openssl ciphers -v -provider fips' shows not complain algorithms

Hi,
When I run
openssl ciphers -v -provider fips | grep TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
it shows this non complain cipher is available. To add '-propquery
fips=yes' argument does not help. IMHO it is not correct behavior.
I have the default and fips providers enabled in openssl.cnf:
openssl_conf = openssl_init
.include /usr/local/ssl/fipsmodule.cnf
[openssl_init]
providers = provider_sect
[provider_sect]
fips = fips_sect
default = default_sect
[default_sect]
activate = 1
For testing I use docker.io/salrashid123/openssl:fips image with
modified /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf.
When I add 'alg_section = algorithm_sect' to [openssl_init] section
defined as follows:
[algorithm_sect]
default_properties = fips=yes
the command 'openssl cipher -v' shows just fips compliant ciphers.
I found it when I try to build stunnel 5.62 and one of their test fails.
The test uses OSSL_PROVIDER_load() to load fips provider and then set
ciphersuite to TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. Expected results is that
there is no complain cipher.

Thanks in advance,
