The html_message argument is meant to contain the HTML version of the email, it's not a boolean flag. The message argument should be the plaintext version.

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/email/#send-mail

send_mail(
    'Subject here',
    'Here is the message.',
    'from@example.com',
    ['to@example.com'],
    fail_silently=False,
    html_message='<p>Here is the message.</p>'
)
