When VoIP phones do not register accross IPSec VPN it is most likely the SIP ALG that is interfering with the traffic to and from the SIP server.
Unfortunately Sophos does not have an option to disable SIP ALG in the Web GUI

To disable SIP ALG you can follow these steps
Log into your Sophos device with SSH or web console
In the shell type in the following command

system system_modules sip unload

to confirm SIP ALG has been disabled type

system system_modules show

This setting does persist after reboots

Reboot the VoIP phone and it should now register with the SIP server
