I'd start with inspecting your tinrc. e.g.

inside tin via the 'M'enu or when tin is NOT running by editing the file
directly.

 
Will check these.

 
There doesn't seem to be a set author name in the new tinrc
OR the old backup tinrc.

then you should add one (or figure out why the fallback to USER@HOST
doesn't work anymore (you would need to inspect the source for that).
as it works for me on a FreeBSD-15 system[1] I can't help as it seems to
be a local config issue on your system).

preferred from is
mail_address=First Last <user@example.org>
but
mail_address=user@example.org (First Last)
would be ok too (and you may omit the realname stuff).
