If the outlet was dead, an electrician should remove it and remove the wires. This should have been checked and done before the wall went up. It's still a fire hazard. Good thing you're not covering it up. Also, what's going on with the irregular drywall screws? Keep it clean, 16" to the stud, straight down every 12", and offset the screws in the Homasote and Sheetrock by 6" so you don't screw into a screw.

I can always patch up here; make them fit so that I can save my big pieces for when I need them. You?re not telling me. Some people throw their stuff away. I don't. I'll take all mine at the end of the project. The outlet down here, in which we are going to have make sure that we don't cover up because it's a live one, if it was dead, I wouldn't worry about it. Being that it's live. Well, I have as you see, I've measured it up. See how much of a gap I might have between the two pieces of sheet rock. The end of that we don't have that much.
