Label has a property TextDecorations. You can set it to Underline to underline a text without using BoxView.

    <Label Text="Your Text" TextDecorations="Underline">

Define WidthRequest for the Label and bind that to the Box view as shown below. 

<StackLayout Padding="0,10" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" Orientation="Horizontal">
    <Button x:Name="BtnSend" Clicked="BtnSend_Clicked" Text="Send" WidthRequest="150" />

    <Label Text="Hello" BackgroundColor="Yellow" WidthRequest="{Binding WidthRequest, Source={x:Reference BtnSend}}"  />
</StackLayout>
