Re: how does mutt send?
You can make Mutt work directly with SMTP, no need for Exim, by
installing "msmtp":
apt-cache show msmtp...
Description: light SMTP client with support for server profiles
msmtp is an SMTP client that can be used to send mails from Mutt and
probably
other MUAs (mail user agents). It forwards mails to an SMTP server (for
example at a free mail provider), which takes care of the final
delivery.
Using profiles, it can be easily configured to use different SMTP
servers
with different configurations, which makes it ideal for mobile clients.

Robert
