I’ve already tried that, but as the package name already says, it’s only the app 
Just shooting in the dark really
"com.android.mms"
Since this package doesn’t have Google in it’s name, I didn’t uninstall it. Interestingly, it’s still not installed on my phone…

Its for the FP3 but probably you will find a hint
Can you still receive SMS?
Just for testing purposes you could try com.google.android.gms and com.google.android.gsf.
On the Fairphone 3 those were initially thought to be needed at least for receiving SMS somehow, but this was found to not necessarily being the case later (see here).
Perhaps worth revisiting just to be sure.

Yes I can.
That didn’t help unfortunately

It has to be one (or more) of these apps since they are all the ones I uninstalled:

I had a similar problem but can’t quite remember*. I didn’t want to use the google msg app but had to have it enabled to use another app*. I also had to have google play enabled to get a message on WhatsApp

Some hints on what some of these packages are or do can be found here … Google Apps keep reinstalling/ reactivating - #34 by AnotherElk

IMHO kann man jeden Messenger für den “Standard-SMS-Versand” verwenden.
Wenn ich z.B. jemanden über Signal oder Threema anschreiben möchte, der aber den Meessenger nicht benutzt, werde ich gefragt ob die App als SMS Standard verwendet werden soll. 
PS: Was der Bauer nicht kennt, . . . löscht er nicht 
That’s not what I was asking about. I have of course tried multiple SMS apps, but if I tap on “send” it just doesn’t actually send the message.
Btw I would say the complete opposite: If you don’t know what an app or a service does in the background and what it does with your data, you should absolutely avoid it.
Naja, das würde ich dann noch mal überdenken. 
Aber ich denke du kennst dich da besser aus als ich, … viel Glück.
I prefer not being able to send SMS for a month over sending my data to Google for a month. If you don’t, then that’s your choice.
Tut mir leid das ich nach Alternativer geschaut habe.
Und Signal, Threema und Google bekomme ich nicht unter einen Hut, … ich bin dann mal wieder weg 
Here’s link to how to develop an sms app.
Maybe you have lost permissions
Create SMS(Messaging) APP using Android Studio | by Logith Kumar B | Medium to send?
By the way, since I don’t see it mentioned yet … Did you try to turn off the phone (real shutdown, no reboot), wait a few seconds, and then turn it on again?

Oh no, do you think I’m that dumb?

Are you sure it could send SMS before you deleted anything?

No such basic questions, please, as per the post above yours .
We are obviously clairvoyant enough to know everything that has been tried already without it being mentioned, and nobody else will ever have this problem, find this topic and might be thankful for any idea.

I actually don’t since I uninstalled the GApps before I even connected the phone to WiFi or put my SIM card in
