Thank You for Your helping
It sounds so weird (the dependendce of the behaviour on the network/country in which the client is connected) that it would need a log:
/system logging add topics=ipsec,!packet
/log print follow-only file=ipsec-start topics~“ipsec”
and then, while the last command is running, try to log in the client which doesn’t work. After the login fails, stop the /log print …, download the file and try to find the answer there. If you can’t, follow the suggestion in my automatic signature for obfuscation of the IP addresses before posting the file here.
However, it may all be much simpler if you use the two client devices at the same time in the same network, because there is the common issue with L2TP/IPsec inability to deal with two clients connecting from behind the same public IP address to the same server. There is a solution to that issue but it is not exactly simple.
Also is your client configuration the same?
By default, an iOS added VPN will forward all traffic through the VPN-tunnel; However macOS won’t. You there need to go in to the advanced VPN-settings and make sure you check the send all traffic option.
Don’t use special symbol “%” in password 
and bee happy)
Common missed setting for MAC OS VPN clients is the checkbox or radio button to ‘SEND ALL TRAFFIC OVER VPN (This Connection)’ in the VPN advanced configuration on the MAC client.
You will be able to connect to the VPN but no access to the intranet w/o that flag checked off, so no email.
Guy above already stated the obvious… so ignore this.
