As pointed out already, mutt doesn't talk smtp. The two solutions to
this are
1) have a proper MTA
2) MSTMP http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/
since 1 has been covered, 2 is ideal if you dont feel the need to have a
mail server runnning all the time or doing anything more fancy than
handling external mail. All msmtp does is read the mail that mutt pipes
to it, connect to the stmp server, and send the mail. To set it up with
mutt, read http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttGuide/Msmtp
