I tried my best to not give a clueless advice this
time, so before suggesting to omit the user@ part
from smtp_url I studied the mutt-1.5.20/smtp.c
source:

  if (conn->account.flags & M_ACCT_USER)
  {
    if (!mutt_bit_isset (Capabilities, AUTH))
    {
      mutt_error (_("SMTP server does not support authentication"));
      mutt_sleep (1);
      return -1;
    }

#ifdef USE_SASL
    if (!(conn->account.flags & M_ACCT_PASS) && option (OPTNOCURSES))
    {
      mutt_error (_("Interactive SMTP authentication not supported"));
      mutt_sleep (1);
      return -1;
    }
    return smtp_auth (conn);
#else
    mutt_error (_("SMTP authentication requires SASL"));
    mutt_sleep (1);
    return -1;
#endif /* USE_SASL */
  }

I concluded that mutt omits SMTP authentication if
and only if M_ACCT_USER is missing from
account.flags (user@ part missing from smtp_url).
