Yours modem is not register in network, according to logs. Wait about 20-30 seconds and check logs again. Also, take a look on my config, especially on init values
I have the same model, and it perfectly works with SMS and 3G connection in parallel (of course, on different usbTTY). My conig:

devices = GSM1
outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing
checked = /var/spool/sms/checked
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
failed = /var/spool/sms/failed
sent = /var/spool/sms/sent

infofile = /var/run/smstools/smsd.working
pidfile = /var/run/smstools/smsd.pid
stats = /var/log/smstools/smsd_stats
logfile = /var/log/smstools/modemname.log
loglevel = 1
delaytime = 5

receive_before_send = no
# autosplit 0=no 1=yes 2=with text numbers 3=concatenated
autosplit = 3
# store_received_pdu 0=no, 1=unsupported, 2=unsupported and 8bit, 3=all
store_received_pdu = 0
internal_combine = no
executable_check=no
eventhandler=python3 /opt/smshandlerscript/smshandler.py

[GSM1]
init = AT+CPMS="ME";+CNMI=2,0,0,2,1
device = /dev/ttyUSB2
incoming = yes
check_memory_method=3
baudrate = 19200
report = disabled
memory_start = 0
report_device_details = no
