There is no problem with the player. I tried several players and the
problem goes if I activate emms-playing-time-mode. Then the variable
emms-playing-time gets updated and your code works accordingly...

The api places these restrictions on the submission (at least, I think
it does---cannot find a reference right now).
Now we know how things are failing, let us try to understand why.
1. While a track is playing, what is the value of emms-playing-time?
2. What does (emms-track-get (emms-playlist-current-selected-track)
'info-playing-time) return?
I am going off the air now but will get back on this tomorrow in about
20 hours.

I think I found the problem (or the source of the problem...). I made a
simplified version of your code:
(defun emms-listenbrainz-scrobbler-stop-hook ()
"Submit the track to listenbrainz if we have listened long enough.
That is, if it has been played for 240 seconds or half the length of
the
track."
(let ((current-track (emms-playlist-current-selected-track)))
(emms-listenbrainz-scrobbler-make-async-submission-call
current-track)))
Removing the code about the length (why is this necessary?) and now it
is working. But still I do not understand why this is happening. Maybe
because of this?
(when (and track-length
;; only submit files
(eq (emms-track-type current-track) 'file))
