You should use the default value for this and let ssmtp to be run with the
sendmail alias (not sure, but can be that ssmtp works differently when called
sendmail in a similar manner as busybox).

If no log, then it's not been used.

You can try to add <? ini_set('display_errors','1'); ?> to your script, this
will display error message directly in your browser.
I would recommend to use a real MTA, I don't feel that ssmtp is good for
anything really. emerge -C ssmtp && emerge sendmail
