I made the correction to the smtp_url entry and tried it both with and
without the USER:PASSWORD. In both cases the url was accepted but then
timed out. Mutt never asked for the user or passwork when this was
omitted. Frustrating, it seems this should work.
I commented out the url line and made the additions suggested by Andrei.
These did work and I am sending this from mutt.
