Your subject and the statement at the top of the body, do not match.
This is an old one.
"Unable to save your message as a draft"
Let us say I cannot save as a Draft, and these are the newsgroups.
Further, let us say I know the groups are on paganini.bofh.team,
and that I have pag set up as one of my USENET servers.
alt.comp.software.thunderbird
alt.usenet.software
news.software.readers
In older Thunderbird, to stop the error, you do this. This is a
URI format that Thunderbird recognizes, and it prevents
Thunderbird from looking at more than one server while posting.
paganini.bofh.team/alt.comp.software.thunderbird
paganini.bofh.team/alt.usenet.software
paganini.bofh.team/news.software.readers
Now, when I Save As Draft, it works. Part of the
reason it works, is in the From: field, which is a
drop down menu, there is an entry per USENET server
that is set up. And I select
From: Username <fake@email> paganini.bofh.team <=== From line, matches URI modification

There are many reasons for this one.
"Sending of the message failed."
But learning is hard, and especially when
people helping you provide information
that is counter to your "plan". Try crossposting
to fewer groups. See if more posts go through.
For servers which are damaged or not maintained
any more, the Sending of the message can fail
because there is no disk space left to store the
message on the server.
