I have found the alternative solution.
If t is HeapTupleHeader then:

        Oid                     tupType;
        int32           tupTypmod;
        TupleDesc       tupDesc;

        tupType = HeapTupleHeaderGetTypeId(t);
        tupTypmod = HeapTupleHeaderGetTypMod(t);
        tupDesc = lookup_rowtype_tupdesc(tupType, tupTypmod);

will give me the needed TupleDesc and I can use SPI_gettypeid().

Thanks and best regards,
