In translation task, I have to choice "best_checkpoint_metric".
But, my goal is to get the best BLEU score model in validation dataset.
So, I want to choice BLEU (not "loss") as "best _checkpoint_metric", because the lowest "loss" score model in validation dataset does not necessarily perform the best from the viewpoint of BLEU.

But I cannot choose BLEU as best_checkpoint_metric.

Or, is it natural to use the lowest loss model's BLEU score as metric in NLP conference's paper??

Currently there is no way to use BLEU as your validation metric. It is common to use lowest validation loss for choosing checkpoints.
