You don't even need to specify $record like that. You have:
set imap_user=...
set imap_pass=...
set folder=imaps://server.com/ <-- note the trailing slash at the end
set record=+Sent (or)
set record=+"Sent Mail" if that's how the mailbox is named on the server
set postponed=+Draft[s] <-- optional 's' select the correct name there
[ ... ]
set smtp_url=smtps://[user[password]@]server.com:[port]
or
set smtp_pass separately, so you just have the server address and port in
$smtp_url.
Basically your {Drafts,Sent,Trash(patch required),...} are an expansion
of $folder which only needs to be prefixed with a + and quoted if there
is space in the folder name. The same principle for local mailboxes.
mutt does use a local MTA to send mail by default unless $smtp_url is set
and mutt is complied with support for that. Then it connects to the
remote smtp server and authenticates with your credentials and the remote
server then sends the mail. The "Sent" mail is then uploaded and stored
in the remote folder as specified by $record. It can be a local folder if
you want it to be.
Some people like offlineimap to use with remote IMAP mailboxes.
