What Apache module are you using to handle authentication? If that Apache module is not configured/implemented to set the necessary attribute in the internal Apache request object, then there will not be an attribute for the currently logged in user to be copied into the REMOTE_USER attribute.
In other words, it is pretty well out of the control of mod_wsgi and it is dependent on the Apache authentication module being used doing the correct thing, or of you configuring that Apache module to set the user attribute correctly.
