Thunderbird is a poor match to your requirements.
While you can build a message, address it and add attachments via the command line, you can't actually tell Thunderbird to send it.

Trying to use Thunderbird for this sounds like a silly idea to me. You can achieve this by using CLI commands. Google is your friend.
Though these answers correctly describe Thunderbird's capabilities they do not solve my problem. Yes, I googled and it seems that mutt is nearest a solution. Though I have not been able to make it work yet.
