I am not sure about sending texts on command-line (did not work for me
either, although it probably should), but if you write those to a file
instead, it will work:

echo -en "This is a\nmultiline message\n\nCool, eh?" >/tmp/sms1
smsq --mt --oa=12345 --mttx-callerid=01930101
--mttx-channel="SIP/sip503" --ud-file="/tmp/sms1"

did the trick for me.
