I stoped spamd
# systemctl stop spamassassin.service
Then I ran in debug mode
# echo | spamd -D > /root/spamdDiag 2>&1
The following line shows a custom test file I created being read in
Sep 8 21:31:45.423 [10285] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/a.cf
Thanks.

Have you generated said debug output by running spamd with the -D flag?
That is the debug output that matters. Also run spamassassin -D as a
bog standard user rather than root.
To minimize interruptions to mail flow I'd test it this way:
stop spamd
manually start spamd with the -D flag as well as all the other usual flags
and values.
Run tests through it using regular mail and a manual "spamc".
Stop the -D spamd.
Restart the normal spamd.
This should only take a minute or two.
