You got it. The nnmail-expiry-target was wrong. I was setting it in the
gnus-secondary-select-method. Along with (nnimap-address, nnimap-inbox)
etc.
So when entered an imap group it works. But after exiting from the group
the value of nnmail-expiry-target is not reset to 'delete'. Hence I was
facing the issue.

Nope. The Gcc header is correct. It is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Gcc: nnfolder+archive:sent.2020-09
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But still the sent mail is not saved in the above group.
