Do you have $smtp_authenticators set to anything?  If so, trying leaving 
it blank so Mutt can try all possible authenticators it knows about.

You might also enable debugging (-d 2) and see if the debug file gives 
any interesting information.  After enabling TLS, the SMTP server would 
typically send an AUTH line indicating acceptable authentication 
mechanisms, for example:
   250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XOAUTH2 PLAIN-CLIENTTOKEN OAUTHBEARER XOAUTH

Since you compiled against SASL, it should be able to handle at least 
LOGIN and PLAIN.
