How have you Mutt configured to sent mail via SMTP to localhost:6025?
Mutt, like the most MUAs, wants to send mail via /usr/sbin/sendmail,
and _not_ directly via SMTP. So, it's the MTA's role to _send_ the
mail somewhere.
I'm not sure about it, but IIRC I've heard, that there's a compile
option for Mutt, which enables direct SMTP transport.
But, it would be better, IMHO, to configure your exim correctly and
let Mutt send via /usr/sbin/sendmail...
