I think maybe what you want is msmtp. It can coexist with exim4. It is
similar in principle to the built-in SMTP capabilities of Icedove, for
example. If you want to use mutt to send messages from multiple accounts,
then I think msmtp is the way to go. Each user can have his own config,
each with multiple accounts.
