Assuming you have access to the Outlook application object, you can use code below to get ProgId:

 COMAddIns comAddIns = application.COMAddIns;

                foreach (COMAddIn addin in comAddIns)
                {
                    if (string.Equals(addin.Description, "YOUR ADDIN NAME", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                    {
                        return addin.ProgId;
                    }
                }
