You need to use double quotes, or else mutt breaks it up into several
addresses. "suresh test"@kcircle.com appears to work fine with mutt.

My sendmail-8.9.3-15 appears to handle it:
...
Jul 10 00:16:41 novara sendmail[32751]: AAA32751: to="this works"@novara.avenue,

...unless it adds the dots later.
