I suggest rather that you strip the text back to the plainest possible form, drop it into Sigil, split into chapters, add a Header style to chapter headings...you're just about done. Let the reader decide on font size and style, paragraph indents etc., just as it MUST decide on line length, page breaks.. You aren't designing a book, you're making text available.
If you are delivering 'text', why use anything other than mono-spaced ASCII in a TXT file?

EPUB is about 'Books'... Styled words, charts and Pictures of all kinds.

That style sheet allowed me to show a 'Handwritten Letter' without resorting to a Image. The benefits are fully rescaleable documents
