One step forward, two steps back? :)
Via the "MM_BEARER_IP_METHOD_STATIC" connection cannot be established.

Via the "MM_BEARER_IP_METHOD_DHCP" connection is very much possible, even without nmcli, 
e.g.
# mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=<APN>,user=<USER>,password=<PASSWD>"
# dhclient wwan0
And that's it!

Maybe the "MM_BEARER_IP_METHOD_STATIC" we could call the "MM_BEARER_IP_METHOD_CANNOT". :)

Besides, unlike the 'mm-bearer-qmi.c', the 'mm-bearer-mbim.c' didn't lose the "MM_BEARER_IP_METHOD_DHCP".
Yet. :)
