When you say "anything" in the Bcc field do you mean valid as well as
invalid email addresses? If I enter nothing in To or Cc but I
put an invalid email address in Bcc I will get a RED indication in Bcc
with an alert and Send will be disabled. If I then add a vaild
email in To, Send will be enabled. Hitting Send will bring up a dialog
box telling me that I need to correct the invalid email address
before sending will work.
I'm set up to default my own address in the Bcc field on all messages.
On an original message, deleting my address from Bcc clears the Send
button; on a reply, nothing clears it. In either case, I cannot
actually send a message, even when the Send button appears enabled, as
Send does nothing.

You should then check ~/.thunderbird/(your profile)/abook.* for proper
ownership and permissions. Should
all be owned by you and -rw-r--r--.
There are no such files. However, starting to enter an address that I
know was in the address book is auto-completed, so it would appear the
address book data is still there somewhere; it just can't be browsed or
searched or otherwise seen by human eyes.
Having downgraded Thunderbird to version 78, I can now send messages;
address auto-complete fails, so the address book data would appear to be
inaccessible. Perhaps version 91 did some conversion on the old address
book that can't be reversed by downgrading.
