you didn't tell us what you use to send emails? webmail or some local software? webmail roundcube will ask you for javascript, squirrelmail will not ask you for javascript. android orfox and orbot are not "guilty" if your mail provider demands javascript. if you use gmail, you can switch to old html version. but I didn't try it long time, I think it is possible. if you use any local software on Android to send emails, we need to know which one.
K-9 is an Android open source mail client. I've edited the code, so onion addresses are currently supported in my source. You may check the details in my blog: Connecting to Hidden Mail Server using Android
Additionally you can check my Pull Request in K-9's source at: https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/pull/3889
Hope it helps.
Well, it totally depends on the mail server configuration, not a client: you can utilize even a builtin one through Orbot with total proxification enabled. If the server is set up properly - it can even have an onion address! So - on the client side you need just a working email client, that's it! Everything else depends on server
