The problem is not with how the data is encoded by the agent. Rather it is with how the results are being displayed by the client tool. If you run the command using the option '-Ox', this will force output in hex format, and you should see the value as expected. Alternatively, if you remove the RFC1213-MIB file, then the client tools ought to pick up the IP-MIB definition instead, which includes the correct DISPLAY HINT to display this value as a hex string automatically.
