I use Mutt since when version 1.4 was the default. 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).
