then you should add one (or figure out why the fallback to USER@HOST
doesn't work anymore (you would need to inspect the source for that).
as it works for me on a FreeBSD-15 system[1] I can't help as it seems to
be a local config issue on your system).

preferred from is
	mail_address=First Last <user@example.org>
but
	mail_address=user@example.org (First Last)
would be ok too (and you may omit the realname stuff).
