Do you only get this problem with that site (the one that has it's SSL
wrongly configured so I can't check it)?

That's what the error message means. Is that site your email host?

from my notes, this is how I've configured mutt in the past (though I
don't 'imagine' the problem is at your end of the SASL exchange):-
# IMAP
set from = "USERNAME@YOURDOMAIN"
set imap_user = "USERNAME@YOURDOMAIN"
set imap_pass = "PWORD"
set folder = "imaps://imap.EMAILHOST:PORT"
set imap_check_subscribed
# SMTP
set smtp_url = "smtp://USERNAME@SMTPHOST:PORT/"
set smtp_pass = "PWORD"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed = "+[WHATEVER]/Drafts"
set trash = "imaps://imap.EMAILHOST/[WHATEVER]/Trash"
set header_cache =~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir =~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set certificate_file =~/.mutt/certificates
Kind regards
