Irrespective of whether you have the passport or not, travelling out of the country while you application is under processing will trigger a withdrawal of your application.
Immigration rule 34K is quite clear on that:
34K. Where proof of identity provided under paragraph 34(5), or Appendix ST: Student ST 1.2.(c) or Appendix CS: Child Student CS 1.2.(d), has been returned to the applicant pending a decision on their application for permission to stay and the applicant travels outside the common travel area their application shall, provided that it has not been determined, be treated as withdrawn on the date that the applicant left the common travel area.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
