Ah interesting, you cleverly took the picture so the join wouldn't show :) Yeah getting the ends to just meet there would be super tricky.
What I was thinking was parting the piece apart, and using a chunk of pipe cut to fit as the brass ring, then gluing it back together with a (possibly metal) dowel in the middle. The exact order of operations to keep it all aligned and get a good fit left as an exercise in the specifics :)
Soldering in that situation is tricky without burning the wood or not getting the brass hot enough for the solder to flow. I think it might be possible with one of the old style tinsmith irons because they would allow you to apply very directed heat. The solder always shows on me anyway (you can get brass wire solder that's a closer match but it ain't cheap - example https://www.riogrande.com/product/brass-wire-solder-20-ga/132201). I've done a couple pieces where I needed a free floating wire around it (to hold stuff on .. its .. complicated lol) and soldered the ends, about 50/50 success on the first try on say 8-10 guage wire, thicker is harder and still a bit of scorching.
I know a bunch of folks who use things like key filings (mostly brass/bronze colored and usually free if you ask nicely) with either CA or epoxy. I've had a bit better luck with thin epoxy but mostly you can still tell pretty easy that its not solid brass. What I've done (not a recommendation - there's folks much much better than me at it..) is pretty much just as you said, pack the metal in there, saturate with glue, let it set up, then turn it back down to size. CA has the advantage of soaking in pretty good and setting up quick, epoxy imho holds better and more importantly gap fills better. You can also get tints for it to it doesn't show as much (stuff like https://www.amazon.com/Simiron-Metallic-Epoxy-Additive-Bronze/dp/B01MYOIM5F - also not a recommendation I'm just to lazy to search more).
