That may be a different thing though, the OP was asking for "ECC encryption"
which I assume is static-ephemeral ECDH or ECMQV (pick one at random) rather
than use of AuthEnvelopedData.  There are implementations of CMS
AuthEnvelopedData, but AFAIK the number of implementations of ECDH-as-key-
transport are the same as the number of implementations of DH-as-key-
transport.
