Not when he met with Lincoln and offered to pay him for all the material in the Forts as well as the southern share of the national debt. And when did that happen?

"Not when he met with Lincoln and offered to pay him for all the material in the Forts as well as the southern share of the national debt." IIRC, the two never met, there was never such an offer.
More important, Lincoln would have referred Davis to Congress for any negotiations and resulting compromises.
