The short answer is "no".
The longer answer is still no, Mutt uses a local program to act as
MTA. Usually this is sendmail, but you can in theory use any program.
Normally sendmail is already installed on any system, by the sysadmin
or maybe commonly with the initial OS installation. If there is no
MTA of any kind on your system (or it's not properly configured), you
can get a simple one called sSMTP from

See http://www.mutt.org/links.html#other for more information.
