No.
When someone is "too simple to do sth.", it means that he/she is simple to such an extent that his/her simplicity prevents him/her from doing that.
In this case, "he was not able, because of his simplicity, to wonder when he had attained humility", "but (at least) he knew he was humble and that it was not bad".
