WebsiteBuilder: Sitemap

Homestead Websitebuilder creates and publishes the sitemap.xml file automatically for you. There is no longer a need to generate it and upload to the site. You can view your sitemap by going to
http://www.yourdomain/sitemap.xml

The issue pertains to Google Search Console and sitemaps generated by the new website builder. All my sites have been verified for ownership in the GSC. I also submitted the location (path and name) for the sitemaps and they show correctly in the GSC. But every page I inspected initially showed it wasn't indexed and that they were not submitted in the sitemap. I manually, individually submitted every page URL for indexing and that worked. Except the GSC now reports that they are INDEXED, NOT SUBMITTED IN SITEMAP and DISCOVERY: SITEMAPS N/A.
As you may imagine, to me this is a critical issue. Perhaps I don't understand what I'm looking at in the GSC. But seems wrong. Incidentally, I looked at the sitemaps and they appear correct, although I've seen other formats, so I can't verify correctness by inspection. I did see one issue, for my blog entries the lastmod date property is incorrect, defaulting to 2015-08-13 and I believe that is a problem and should also be fixed.
Here is a an image of what I'm seeing in GSC:

If your concerns are in relation to it showing indexed, not submitted in sitemap. All you will need to do is select sitemaps from the left and submit the site map url which in your case is http://www.accessrite.com/sitemap.xml.
