Is the mail rejected because of the From header, or because of the
envelope from address? What's the error message you get?

If you really need a different From header, then you need to configure
cron to generate one - msmtp only sends the mail, it does not care
about its contents. If cron cannot be configured in this way,
you could use procmail.
