Mpop will still use pipelining if the server supports the CAPA command
and sends "PIPELINING" in the CAPA response. The --pipelining option is
only for servers that do not support the CAPA command.

This behaviour works for me, I just tested it. What does your POP3
server send in response to CAPA? (The --debug option will print the
whole session).
