It's still unclear from your words what you do and what you expect.

For M-x new-patch to enter the debugger you need to enable
`debug-on-error'.  I see the expected behavior: I get a debugger when
the option is enabled.

For C-x C-e you need to eval a form that raises an error.  Also that
works as expected: evaluating the defun doesn't raise an error as
expected.
