~/sent is not a directory but a file

No, because ~/sent is definitivly a file on your system...
So you have a Maildir?
Do you have set the correct mailboxtype?
Mutt can read mbox, maildir and mh without any configuration options.
BUT, because mutt want to lock ~/sent it seems, that you have not
setup correctly mutt with
set mbox_type=maildir
set folder="$HOME/Maildir/"
set spoolfile="$HOME/Maildir/"
set record="+sent/"
set postponed="+drafts/"
