In your pre save post filter

/**
 * Back-end creation of new candidate post
 */
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'tsm_do_pre_save_post' );
function tsm_do_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {

	// Bail if not logged in or not able to post
	if ( ! ( can_user_post_recipe() ) ) {
		return;
	}

	// check if this is to be a new post
	if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
		return $post_id;
	}

	// Create a new post
	$post = array(
		'post_type'     => 'post', 
		'post_status'   => 'pending', 
		'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['acf']['field_559a8e6366915']), // Post Title ACF field key
		'post_content'  => $_POST['acf']['field_559a8e7b66916'], // Post Content ACF field key
	);

	$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );

	do_action( 'acf/save_post' , $post_id );

	return $post_id;

}

Why are you doing do_action( 'acf/save_post' , $post_id );? Did you read somewhere that you should add that? Because it is not in any of the documentation or tutorials on acf/pre_save_post.

Try removing that line.
