It doesn't support SMTP (hasn't smtp_url config option), outgoing mail is sent via pipe to sendmail (or a sendmail-compatible MTA: Exim, Postfix, perhaps "ssmtp" too). I use port mail/sendmail-sasl (sendmail+tls+sasl2-8.14.8). Mutt 1.5 also does that if you don't specify smtp_url. Mutt doesn't need SASL for pulling incoming mail via POP3 (port 110) and POP3S (encrypted, port 995).
