OK. So just changed the sendmail-program from msmtpq to msmtp. Both
issues disappear. That is to say, message-buffer-kill-on-exit works and
insert with 'sent' tag also happens as expected.

Now it would be wonderful if this could be made to work with msmtpq. I
think that msmtpq's return value upon successfully enqueuing the message
to send, could be read as 'success' for insert and
message-buffer-kill-on-exit to happen.

I do see problems in using something like this, i.e. if a message is
inserted into 'Sent' folder after being enqueued by msmtpq, but msmtpq
then not actually successfully sending the message. Could be nice if an
intermediate folder like 'Outbox' could be used to insert the message
enqueued by msmtp and then later moving it to 'Sent' after actually
sending it.
