Really, there is a problem with digest commands. For instance I never
was able to make md_gost94 digest work as digest command, not as option
to dgst command. 

Problem is that command name parsing occurs before initialization of
OpenSSL  is completed and configuration file read. 
So, engine-provided algorithms at least, cannot
be used as digest command. 

dgst command prints list of available digests after all inititalization,
so it sees them all.
