I'm all for sidestepping your issue if only I knew what the heck your
issue was.

To reconfigure exim4, you would issue the following command:

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

then answer the questions correctly.

(for gmx? probably a setup similar to gmail as per this wiki (smarthost):
https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4)

Of course, you'd have to tell mutt to hand off the mail locally rather
than contacting the remote smtp server itself.
