I have tried both the version on Ansible Galaxy and here master branch of this repo. Please shed some light on this issue. Thanks

You probably want to escape borg_repository and borgmatic_hooks. Else it's not valid YAML and thus the error.

yamllint playbook.yml produces no output. Ansible run still fails:

TASK [m3nu.ansible_role_borgbackup : Add Borgmatic Configuration] ********************************************

should be

    borgmatic_hooks:
      healthchecks: 'https://hc-ping.com/a-b-c-d'

instead of

    borgmatic_hooks: https://hc-ping.com/a-b-c-d
