default woocommerce shortcodes won't do that. you'll need to write something custom to get the product by title, grab the ID from there, and then call the add to cart shortcode using the ID. something like this:

add_shortcode('add_to_cart_by_title', 'add_to_cart_by_title');
function add_to_cart_by_title ($atts) {
    if (!class_exists('WooCommerce')) {
        return '';
    }
    $args = shortcode_atts(array(
        'title' => ''
    ), $atts);

    $related_product = get_page_by_title($args['title'], OBJECT, 'product');

    if ($related_product) {
        $product_id = $related_product->ID;
        return do_shortcode('[add_to_cart id="' . $product_id . '"]');
    }
    return '';
}

which you would then call like [add_to_cart_by_title title="whatever"]

You could also remove the title attribute from the shortcode call and have it just get the title of the current post via get_the_title()
