I suspect mutt can be configured similarly.
mutt can certainly do mail submission to a smarthost itself. set smtp_url="smtp://email-address:password@smarthost:port/" would be all that's typically necessary. But when I tried using this some years ago, I got bored of waiting for large attachments to get uploaded. That's why I prefer to queue it with exim, and also to have exim's logs for picking over in cases where things get delayed or blocked. Cheers, David.
