We were hoping if we could configure clients.conf with MAC-address instead of IP address for every AP. This will ensure MAC-address with shared secret to be unique and thus APs will be authenticated.

Not really. You could use dynamic clients and ARP for the packet SRC IP, but you'd have to be in the same VLAN as the AP and it'd be pretty slow/ broken.
