Publishers do not want unfinished demos. They want professionally recorded and produced songs. Your "demo" should be radio ready quality. It's easier to get the song cut if it sounds pro right from the start. It can be a simple vocal with a piano as long as it is radio ready quality.

I'd never even consider sending them an unfinished demo that sounds like it was recorded in the corner of a room in your house.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
