Please make sure that the variable is exported.

Solution:
Export starship environment variables explicitly right before starship initialisation in your ZSH config:

export STARSHIP_CONFIG="$ZDOTDIR/starship/config.toml"
export STARSHIP_CACHE="$ZDOTDIR/starship/cache"
eval "$(starship init zsh)"

from starship.

@davidkna Hm, sure, looks like it was not exported:

$ declare -p STARSHIP_CONFIG

typeset STARSHIP_CONFIG=/Users/ddmytrenko/.config/zsh/starship/config.toml

Ok!
I have exported starship environment variables explicitly right before starship initialisation in my zsh config:

export STARSHIP_CONFIG="$ZDOTDIR/starship/config.toml"
export STARSHIP_CACHE="$ZDOTDIR/starship/cache"
eval "$(starship init zsh)"

Variables are now exported:

$ declare -p | ag STARSHIP_C | ag export

export STARSHIP_CACHE=/Users/ddmytrenko/.config/zsh/starship/cache
export STARSHIP_CONFIG=/Users/ddmytrenko/.config/zsh/starship/config.toml

Now it loads the config properly. Thanks for your advice!
