I now get an error message from mutt:

Errore nella spedizione del messaggio, il figlio è uscito con 69 (Service
unavailable.)
which is probably in English
Error in sending the message, the child process exited with 69 (Service
unavailable.)

and it also relays:

msmtp: the server does not support TLS via the STARTTLS command
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /home/richard/.msmtprc)

I'm guessing the 'server' referred to is the VM.  I'll try installing
msmtp there.
