Just for your information.  After a restart of emacs (and removing of
my temporary symlink) emacs now finds the binary as expected.  So
apparently the (fsf emacs) sendmail.el code I posted does do the job.

Still not sure why this happened but I guess it was related to
updating OS while emacs was running.  Emacs appears to have needed
only a restart to start working as expected again.
