Wireless repeater doesn't disclose it's clients to AP, so AP can not control who connects to repeater and who not.

No, each radio (AP and repeater) separately has to enforce ACLs ... only if there's some centralized management (in MT case that's CAPsMAN) can rules be centrally managed, but this only works if all radios are centrally managed (and usually this means that they are made by same vendor). This is not the case in your particular use scenario.
