What you are going to have to do is build your own shortcode https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

The reason why is that ACF depends on get_the_ID() when one is not supplied.

Here is the built in ACF shortcode modified to work with the code you provided.

function my_acf_shortcode( $atts ) {
	
	// extract attributs
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'field'			=> '',
		'post_id'		=> false,
		'format_value'	=> true
	), $atts ) );
	
	if (!$post_id && isset( $_POST['et_post_id'] )) {
	  $post_id = $_POST['et_post_id'] ;
	}
	
	// get value and return it
	$value = get_field( $field, $post_id, $format_value );
	
	
	// array
	if( is_array($value) ) {
		
		$value = @implode( ', ', $value );
		
	}
	
	
	// return
	return $value;
	
}

add_shortcode('my_acf', 'my_acf_shortcode');
