I might of figured out what the issue is, and we will see when I send this email:
It turns out when you create an APP PASSWORD with Fastmail
Instead of clicking " Password for Mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
You have to click on just POP, then create the password.
Then go back through those steps and create a password for SMTP ONLY.
( see attachment )
UPDATE:
It looks like that solution worked.
It does put the email into the OUTBOX for a few seconds. But at the very bottom of KMAIL you can see the progress bar moving towards to 100% and then the email is moved to the SENT folder.
Where before, When you hit the send button on the composer window, the email was just saved to the OUTBOX and I had to manually hit the SEND QUEUED EMAIL BY..... button, then selecting the Fastmail account.

Of course the email with the picture to show ya'll what I am talking about got moderated. So this email won't make sense to you, until you see my screenshot in the email before this one, lol.

The list auto-holds messages over 2000 KB. The message in question was over 5MB. Here's the image reduced to under 200KB, and still legible.

The bottom two are the ones you want to use.

Seems to me that's what has to happen (wether or not a program shows it):
- You write a message - You send it, so it goes to the outbox - Once it has been sent it goes to the sent box
That's what kmail has always done here. Long time a go I tried Q4OS but didm't keep it because the devs seem to have changed a lot of basic settings (in TDE at least) so I spent a lot of time putting things back into place.
MX-Linux (or Debian) require a tad more work to install TDE but then everything works as expected.

Well, before the emails were just being moved to OUTBOX and nothing else happened until I hit SEND QUEUED EMAIL VIA...... button.
Now emails are being sent right away. ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Like what?
Dang.. If I had of known, I would of installed regular Deb base, and then TDE. I like that Q4OS offers the old 2000 theme, like i've shared before, vs the Default KDE 3.x theme.

Same thing happened to me with Q4OS. It looks really good, and I wanted to like it, but I had to spend too much time trying to undo the changes it made to my system. The 'buntus, likewise, started doing more things that I didn't like (such as calling home a lot), then I ended up switching to Debian, then at last Devuan.
At last I am content to stay here for awhile; although if I had enough space for more machines, then I would probably start building my own again (out of salvaged parts and old boxes), and would explore other systems.
Regarding your email: My Kmail does that, too, from time to time; but, at least in my own case, I believe it has more to do with the external network (here in the building) or ISP. My connection goes from stable (with 1-2 mbsp over Tor) to unstable (which disconnections every few minutes, and top speeds of maybe 20 kbps). Usually when it gets held in the outbox, I look to blame my external network or ISP.
In any case, it is the same behavior, pretty much exactly as your describe, where I send an email, then it gets stuck in the outbox until I use SEND VIA my email provider.
If there is some other possible cause for this behavior, I would like to know, too; but my hunch is that it's the connection itself.
