mutt doesn't "speak" SMTP. It simply pipes the messages to a so-called Message
Transport Agent (MTA) which, in a vanilla Debian installation, should be
exim4, if I'm not mistaken. The MTA will then send your mail to
"outgoing.verizon.net", the so-called smarthost. Quite likely it'll be already
installed in your machine. If you're unsure about how to configure it, I can
send you some notes I jotted down when I had to learn how to do it.

Perhaps your MTA is already configured to your former email provider, and
you'll just need to reconfigure it:
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
I hope this is what you were looking for
