Did you try setting a break on notmuch-maildir-fcc-with-notmuch-insert?
I'm guessing that it doesn't get called because the output of msmtpq is
misinterpreted as an error. I think this is a bug in msmtpq (or at least
a way in which it differs from a traditional sendmail). For me (using
nullmailer) "/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -f david@tethera.net -t < foo.eml"
generates no output on success. If you can change / replace the msmtpq
script, you could try commenting out the log line [1] that is printing
"send was successful".

Another test (which would be worthwhile for your second issue as well),
is to test with M-x message-mail (however one calls a command in doom).
This will eliminate the possibility of some setting of notmuch confusing
things. Of course it still won't insert into the notmuch database, but
if it is working you should not see a message about "Sending...failed"
