I have never seen the case that vim had trouble overriding internal
keys. If it does, it needs to be reported and I am pretty sure Bram
fixes this.
Anyways, using the
nmap T {^M!}foobar<cr>
works here. Perhaps Vim doesn't correctly understand
the Carriage Return part within the mapping, in that case, simply try
nmap T {+!}foobar<cr>
or something. If that still doesn't work, I suppose some plugin interfers,
so in this case try explicitly with a vim started with
vim -u NONE -U NONE -N
and enter the mapping verbose into your commandline.
