log4net not logging precise time to DB - log4net

Question

I have DB logging setup through log4net. I'm getting same timestamps & no exception object.
Appender:
<appender name="AsyncDBAppender" type="DA.Systems.Focus.Shared.LogCore.AsynchronousAdoNetAppender, Focus-Shared-LogCore">

<layout type="log4net.Layout.ExceptionLayout" />
</parameter>
</appender>
Produces this log:
Issues:
Sorting by date destroys the actual sequence. The pattern is a log4net.Layout.RawTimeStampLayout & the database column is Datetime2
When there was an exception, the exception itself didn't get logged
Exploding code:
try
{
InfoScope($"{LayerName} -> {callerInfo.MethodName} -> Passes bill created. Notifying Security-System...", userId, operationId);
var notificationResult = await _securitySystem.FocusBillPaymentNotification(billInfoBdo.BillDetails, userId, operationId);
if (notificationResult.Result)
{
InfoScope($"{LayerName} -> {callerInfo.MethodName} -> Notifying Security-System succeeded: Security-System Receipt #{notificationResult.SecuritySystemReceiptNumber}, Message: {notificationResult.Message}", userId, operationId);
}
else
{
WarnScope($"{LayerName} -> {callerInfo.MethodName} -> Notifying Security-System failed: {notificationResult.Message}", userId, operationId);
}
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
ErrorScope($"{LayerName} -> {callerInfo.MethodName} -> Exception at Security-System Payment notification [{exp.Message}]", exp, userId, operationId);
}
How do I make the time stamp more precise?
Why would the exception pobject not get .ToString()/logged?
Here is the Logging Core I use:
#region Error
[DebuggerStepThrough]
protected void ErrorScope(string message, string userId, Guid operationId)
{
SetUserId(userId);
SetOperationId(operationId);
Logger.ErrorFormat(message);
}
[DebuggerStepThrough]
protected void ErrorScope(string message, Exception exception, Guid operationId)
{
SetOperationId(operationId);
Logger.ErrorFormat(message, exception.GetInnerExceptions());
}
[DebuggerStepThrough]
protected void ErrorScope(string message, Exception exception, string userId, Guid operationId)
{
SetUserId(userId);
ErrorScope(message, exception, operationId);
}
#endregion

Answer 1

Well, this is not a direct solution to the issue but I did manage to get a proper timestamp in a different manner: I added another column to DB with type as DateTime2 and default as SysDateTime():
RecordStamp DATETIME2 NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_MainLog_RecordStamp DEFAULT (SYSDATETIME())
Now, this column is responsible for ensuring each log entry with a valid timestamp.
