@bgunnarb I like @eiten 's solution for you.
Personally, I am not a fan of using cloud/public brokers. Thus I am curious about your system and there is something about it from which I can learn. I would like to understand why you cannot deploy your own mosquitto broker.
I see your set up as 3 sensor groups defined by the channel used
#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL ChannelOfSensorGroup
Each sensor group has some number of sensors and one MQTT GW on ESP8266. On the MQTT side, do you distinguish between gateways by using a different host name?
Something like:
#define MY_MQTT_PUBLISH_TOPIC_PREFIX "mygateway-nOf3-out"
#define MY_MQTT_SUBSCRIBE_TOPIC_PREFIX "mygateway-nOf3-in"
#define MY_MQTT_CLIENT_ID "mysensors-nOf3"
#define MY_HOSTNAME "ESP8266_MQTT_GW_nOf3"
//#define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 178, 68
#define MY_CONTROLLER_URL_ADDRESS "test.mosquitto.org"
#define MY_PORT 1883
I must assume your controller (aka Home Assistant) discriminates between through which gateway the data is to flow by way of the different topic names.
If my "something like" is correct, then changing brokers is changing the IPaddress/URL in your gateways and in your controller (though if the controller is Home Assistant, it may be a bother because the device-id's may change which will make a mess of all the work you've done in HA. This is why I like @eiten 's solution.)
I hope it's all working for you again.

You can put 100uf on each even 200uf would not be able to handle only one tx, so..
but you need them at least for coin cells.
you would need more capa to handle tx..but the more capa the more time they take for recharging, and the recharging if big, increase internal res of the coin cell and that's not so good too; to prevent this that would need a current resistor limiter..etc a whole balance!
On mine for instance, I have 100uF for coincell, 100uF for PIR and 86uf on radio. Fresh varta coincell 3.02V, after multiple presentation tx 2.85V if I remember, not so bad. but that's an homemade pcb.
Another notes, it's better to use ceramic capacitor (because of leakage, if you want to optimize), and better smd, but that's not your case I think.
I am not able to install the Library . I am getting Error
Invalid library found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266MQTTMesh: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266MQTTMesh.
I changed the name of the zipped file to ESP8266MQTTMesh as the name of .cpp file ESP8266MQTTMesh.cpp. Still it is saying Invalid Library found in ....
What could be the problem.
