A satellite airport Tower called for a release on Aircraft X. I released the aircraft. I was working combined sectors and the jets landing had a very strong tailwind and were having trouble getting down. The adjacent sector Controller called me and asked what I was doing with Aircraft X and I told them I wasn't talking to them yet and intended to climb them. I reached out to the Tower and they switched them. At the same time Center called to coordinate a heading for an aircraft overtaking another aircraft. I tried handing off the aircraft to the adjacent sector but they refused to take it. After seeing this a different sector Controller told me that they would take Aircraft X on a 070 heading climbing to 4;000 feet to get them going towards there airspace since the other sector Controller was ignoring me. There was an aircraft at 3;000 feet that I thought was going to climb but didn't. I ended up hitting the 2;500 feet MVA as well. After that I was able to get a hold of the Controller and get the point out and get the aircraft to the next sector.
A90 Approach Controller reported that a sector could not accept a handoff; causing the aircraft to fly below the MVA.
