On one hand, I have used mutt to read a mbox file I have lying around while flying - it does not require a MTA to work. On the other hand, mutt can work in a more mundane environment with a remote IMAP server. Yes, a MTA is required to send mail, and is thus strongly recommended - but not having one does not render the package unusable, so it is not really depending on it.
