I did just (using my old mutt) set sendmail to killall -9 mutt. The
temporay file that stayed on my disk did contain my text. But there
was no other information (recipients, subject, attachments).

So if the tmpdir survives, not everything is lost. But the mail as
such is lost.

Data loss in case of a catastrophic system failure is not the thing
to argue about. The thing to argue about is, which case of events
is made catastrophic by mutt.
