Look at /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf.example
Rename that without the .example and MIMEDefang will use that.

If that doesn't exist it'll use:

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

If that doesn't exist it'll use:

/etc/mail/spamassassin.cf

That test procedure doesn't really tell you much, except that SpamAssassin
does or does not work all by itself (without MIMEDefang).

That probably means that SpamAssassin is trying to use DCC, but dccproc
isn't in your path.  Mine, for example, is /usr/local/bin/dccproc (which
is in my path).  If you don't know what DCC is, check the README in
SpamAssassin's source tree.  There's a blurb in there about it.
