Suppose the primaries had turned out differently, leading to a general election of Bernie Sanders versus Carly Fiorina. Do you think all those patriarchal evangelicals would have voted for Bernie to keep a woman from being President?

I don't. I don't think their top priority is the gender of the President, any more than it is the Sermon on the Mount. (I agree with you that they also don't genuinely care about the President's personal life.) Despite their widespread misogyny, they would have gritted their teeth and voted for Fiorina.
