The following patch adds all (not only nntp groups) to the completion
list.  I'm not sure if this is a good idea, though.  Could you please
test and report back.

Sorry, I don't understand what your problem is here.  Could you be
more specific?  gnus-select-method, gnus-secondary-select-methods, is
it a foreign group?  What headers (Newsgroups, Followup-To,
X-Draft-From) does the message have exactly before sending?

Bye, Reiner.
