This is the normal behavior.  You can add additional auth-related 
logging using these variables in radiusd.conf:

log_auth = yes
log_auth_badpass = yes
log_auth_goodpass = yes

I'm really not sure if this is possible because when you using the 
debugging command line options it tells the server to print them to 
stderr.  I'm not aware of any command line options that can change 
this.  You could always redirect the output.

radiusd -xxx &> radius.log &
