I haven't followed this thread at all so may be way off, but I just set up msmtp with Mutt to forward to Gmail, and had some slight difficulty with DSN. Gmail doesn't seem to support customization of DSN settings, so when I set "dsn_notify failure,delay" and "dsn_return headers" Gmail complained. Then I set them both to "off" which should work for a server that doesn't support DSN. Gmail still complained. Then I realized that I had them set in Mutt as well. After disabling them there, Gmail accepted mail. So make sure that the DSN headers aren't getting added to mail somewhere along the line.
