Yes - mutt automatically tries all the appropriate authentication
methods the smtp server will accept, so Kevin is right here. Just let
mutt work it out.

I'm not even sure you need to specify a port here if you use
"smtps://..." - again, mutt should connect to the smtp server using the
correct port for ssl/tls connections.
To start, try stripping out the password bit in the url. So just try it
with smtps://usern...@host.example.com. If you get that working, then
add in the password bit; but, you can set $smtp_pass for this if you
require/prefer.

Again, take Kevin's advice - make sure all the sasl libraries are
correctly installed. Check out this page, for some tips on using mutt in
this way:
http://linsec.ca/Using_mutt_on_OS_X#Setting_up_SMTP_Support
You might find it useful. Don't worry that this is on Mac OS X, the
principles are the same.
