You have to use a special bar line type when it breaks across a line:

%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\paper { indent = 0 line-width = 3\cm ragged-right = ##f }

\markup \bold \typewriter "\".|:-||\""
{ R1 \bar ".|:-||" \break R1 }

Out of pure interest: does anyone know why this seems to be "in the wrong order"? Why does the ". |:" of the second line come in front of the "||" which - viewed from a musical standpoint - should happen before?
