I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
mutt 1.5.21-6.4ubuntu2 is the version in the repository
after not getting the 1.5.1.23 dev version off mutt.org to work, I am
trying the one in the Ubuntu repository
there is a discrepancy for SMTP
the Ubuntu Spftware Center says it has EMSTP support
the ubuntu wiki says the MTA defaults to a Postfix installation, and
gives instructions for sSMTP
mutt -v shows +USE_SMTP
(I removed postfix,ssmtp,mutt in that order)
then installed ssmtp and mutt in that order
I get the same error as with the dev package
echo "Test" | /usr/bin/mutt -s Hello d...@dalekelly.org
SMTP session failed: 530 authentication required
Could not send the message.
it is looking at the default config file, /etc/Muttrc
included below
I configured the ssmtp.conf file
included below
and the output of mutt -v
included below

## *** DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR THE ATTACHMENTS PATCH ***
##
##
## Please see the manual (section "attachments") for detailed
## documentation of the "attachments" command.
##
## Removing a pattern from a list removes that pattern literally. It
## does not remove any type matching the pattern.
##
## attachments +A */.*
## attachments +A image/jpeg
## unattachments +A */.*
##
## This leaves "attached" image/jpeg files on the allowed attachments
## list. It does not remove all items, as you might expect, because the
## second */.* is not a matching expression at this time.
##
## Remember: "unattachments" only undoes what "attachments" has done!
## It does not trigger any matching on actual messages.
## Qualify any MIME part with an "attachment" disposition, EXCEPT for
## text/x-vcard and application/pgp parts. (PGP parts are already known
## to mutt, and can be searched for with ~g, ~G, and ~k.)
##
## I've added x-pkcs7 to this, since it functions (for S/MIME)
## analogously to PGP signature attachments. S/MIME isn't supported
## in a stock mutt build, but we can still treat it specially here.
##
attachments +A */.*
attachments -A text/x-vcard application/pgp.*
attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.*
## Discount all MIME parts with an "inline" disposition, unless they're
## text/plain. (Why inline a text/plain part unless it's external to the
## message flow?)
##
attachments +I text/plain
## These two lines make Mutt qualify MIME containers. (So, for example,
## a message/rfc822 forward will count as an attachment.) The first
## line is unnecessary if you already have "attach-allow */.*", of
## course. These are off by default! The MIME elements contained
## within a message/* or multipart/* are still examined, even if the
## containers themselves don't qualify.
##
#attachments +A message/.* multipart/.*
#attachments +I message/.* multipart/.*
## You probably don't really care to know about deleted attachments.
attachments -A message/external-body
attachments -I message/external-body
