There's no MUA like mutt - mutt is (close to) the best there is ;)
However, this issue appeard just recently on the mutt-dev mailing list.
The reason SMTP support isn't integrated yet, is that it is not needed.
There's just too much that has to be supported for SMTP, so that you'd
end up with a MTA in mutt. And what's the use, when there are so many
easy to configure MTAs out there? Personally I *really* fail to see why
all the GUI MUAs have SMTP support...
