As instructed I changed it to...

and also tried

set smtp_url ="smtp://ionm...@eml.cc@smtp.fastmail.com:465"

set smtp_url ="smtps://ionm...@eml.cc@smtp.fastmail.com:465"

Thanks Ranjan - that's right.  Remember port 465 uses smtps://

both produced "Invalid SMTP URL: smtp.fastmail.com:465"

Check your muttrc to make sure you don't have the value specified twice or something. That error message prints out the full value of $smtp_url, so somehow Mutt has the value minus the 'smtps://ionm...@eml.cc@' prefix stored in $smtp_url. You can also check the value at runtime by typing ':set ?smtp_url' and hitting return.
