If you unset smtp_url mutt should connect to port 25 on localhost 
to send, where should listen postfix properly configured for work 
in your case.

I think you want to use folder-hook recipes, something like:

folder-hook .      'unset smtp_url'
folder-hook 'mutt' 'set from = maitra at email.com; set smtp_url="smtp://yourusername@smtp.example.com:587/"; set smtp_pass="Your1!Really2 at AweSome3#Password"'
