It's likely that KMail interprets the entered text as the name of the program 
to call as René suspected. You can try to write a shell script which calls 
/usr/bin/msmtp --account=<account_name>
and enter the path of this shell script in the configuration, but I doubt that 
will work because the command is not executed with a shell.

Please submit a bug report for this.
