Cut a square or rectangle of the same sheet metal then cut a hole in it the same size as the roll bat tube, cut it in half then rivet it in place tight to the tube.

Flexible lip seal grommets from Kennard industries or McMaster Carr-also can use weatherstripping glued into place or a paintable sealer from auto paying supply

The red fire stop caulk would not be a good choice. It does not have much of an adhesive quality. It is mostly a filler for non moving joints. I don't think it would stay in place in this application. There are some silicone based caulks that are fire rated. These can be obtained from a commercial sealant supplier

I found some Fire Block sealer at Lowes thats good to 1300 degs. I bought a tube of it to see if it would work.
