No RTSP server includes ID3 tags when streaming data from a MP3 file, because there's no well-defined way to include such data in the RTP packets that they send.  (The RTP packets in this case contain MP3 audio only.)

In principle, it might be possible to include some ID3 tag information in the stream's SDP description, but I don't know of any RTSP server that does this.
