I tried both set smtp_url ="smtp://smtp.fastmail.com:465" and set
smtp_url ="smtp://smtp.fastmail.com:587" and got "SMTP session failed:
530 5.7.1 Authentication required".
I used the same password as IMAP as the Fastmail help page tells me
"Your app-specific password. You cannot use your regular Fastmail
password." So does the "set ssl_force_tls =yes" not cover authentication?

But the response was...
"SMTP session failed: read error"
The prefix 'smtps://' should be used with port 465:
set smtp_url ="smtps://smtp.fastmail.com:465"
Alternatively you can use 'smtp://' with port 587 to use STARTTLS:
set smtp_url ="smtp://smtp.fastmail.com:587"
set timeout=15
set mail_check=1
You didn't ask, but as an aside, $mail_check of 1 is a bit too
aggressive for IMAP. <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#imap> suggests
set mail_check=90
set timeout=15
which I think is a fairly balanced approach.
