Thanks for the response.
Can I avoid using sendmail for outgoing mail on KMail in that way?

I just tried this again, and I get much the same error message:
-------------------------------
[tim@william ~]$ sudo systemctl status sendmail
  sendmail.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Agent

I tried this; there was a large amount of output,
but the only thing that struck me was the same journalctl message again:
  sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?) 
    after start: No such file or directory
and the following, repeated several times
  May 25 23:14:52 william.gayleard.com ksmserver[1395]: 
    QXcbWindow: Unhandled client message: "_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP"
