The documentation that you have in your post says that this works only
if the actual date given in the #+DATE directive is a single
timestamp. So, what did you specify there? If you give a time stamp,
like [2020-09-16 Wed], it works fine for me. If you have something
else, e.g. September 16, 2020, the format string is ignored.
In any case, you may wish to use the {{{time(FORMAT)}}} macro instead as
this does not depend on the date you have specified explicitly. And, in
practice, I actually use {{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}}. In both of
these cases, you need to specify the format.
