If the energy terms weren't written, then you didn't request them in 
your .mdp using energygrps.

Again, you don't need to do this *during* the run, you should treat 
interaction energy analysis (which may not even be a meaningful 
quantity) as post-processing. You can generate a new .tpr file with the 
desired energygrps and use mdrun -rerun with the new .tpr file to get 
the interaction energies.
