I don't think you have the optical arrangement wrong. Eyepiece projection however requires the eyepiece to be much closer to the objective than afocal.
For afocal projection you just infinity focus the eyepiece for your eye then infinity focus the camera lens and the focus will be pretty close.
But the eyepiece need to be further in for eyepiece projection so you probably don't have sufficient back focus or maybe need a longer projection distance (a macro type extension tube between the T mount and the camera or a bit of both. The longer the projection distance, the less the distance inside the focus. The shorter the projection distance the further inside the focus. With a T-ring and DLSR camera, your projection distance isn't very big so you need greater backfocus. If the scope is a newt and doesn't have more back focus, all you can do is increase the projection distance - see if you can borrow a set of macro extension tubes.
