Actually, your config won't make a difference because this will run
Emacs in batch mode, which doesn't read your init file.
In elpa.gnu.org I circumvent that by setting

    (setq send-mail-function #'sendmail-send-it)

in a `site-start.el` file.

You can get similar results with something like:

    make EMACS="emacs --batch --eval '(setq send-mail-function (function 
sendmail-send-it))'" \
         build/so-long
