I had the same issue, but I could fix it with the solution I found here on forum
First of all, I downloaded bot with fresh configuration
then I set him to farm act1 coast (in PoE you need to set default attack skill on Right mouse button )
if bot will go to the coast and start hit mobs there so it works normally and issue is in your settings
after this try to use bot with minimal changes from default settings
P.S. I can't find the original post that helped me but I'd like to give thanks to that staff member who wrote the solution
