You can either define a new back-end, as you did, or defadvice the
current one.

There is no `:properties' attribute for property drawers. Also you are
mixing translators and filters: arguments for translators are ELEMENT
CONTENTS INFO. Use, for example:

 (defun my-ascii-property-drawer (drawer contents info)
   contents)

Replace `template' with `property-drawer'. You also need to define
a translator for `node-property' elements, e.g.,

  (defun my-ascii-node-property (node-prop contents info)
    (concat (org-element-property :key node-prop)
            ": "
            (org-element-property :value node-prop)))

and

  (org-export-define-derived-backend 'my-ascii 'ascii
    :translate-alist '((property-drawer . my-ascii-property-drawer)
                       (node-property . my-ascii-node-property)))
