It does appear that Congress is not invoking this 2002 Rule,either formally via subpoenas, or informally in press appearances.

This exception allows transmission by a government attorney, without court intervention, of the Mueller report and its underlying evidence to the House committee.

This does not require that a government attorney transmit the report, it makes it legal for one to do so, and prevents the AG from stopping a government attorney who wishes to do so. Now, if no one chooses to do so, it is then appropriate for congress to subpoeana it, which is what they have done.
