I had this problem using nmh.  Don't know if it is
mailer-specific, but I solved it by recompiling nmh
with fresh sources using the NMH_MTS and
NMH_SMTPSERVERS options.  I then configured the
mts.conf file to ensure that the localname,
clientname and smtp server variables matched my setup.
I did not have to touch the sendmail configuration
files.  Presumably mutt has a file equivalent to
nmh's mts.conf.
