The user of the msmtp script and .conf file need to be set to the same
user as apache. In most cases that user is www-data.

What you could try is see if msmtp has a -v (verbose) flag and manually
send an email to see what the mailservers are telling each other. If it
hasn't this then you could resort to:
telnet mailserver 25
And by hand do a conversation with it.
I've been having problems lately with Centos4.7 and its sendmail and
each time it turned out that the other end didn't like my
user at host.domain.
This being caused by the fact that host.domain didn't have a DNS entry
in the wide world.
So using a couple of option within Sendmail (masqerading) fixed this.
You could have a look and see it you're not hit by this either.
