Given that you're using Fastmail, this is my SMTP config:

# SMTP SETTINGS
# Use port 565 for SMTP instead of 465 so we can mask the IP when sending.
set smtp_url = 'smtps://chema@rinzewind.org@smtp.fastmail.com:565/'
# Source the password from file
# This file is in the following format:
# set smtp_pass = "pass"
# set imap_pass = $smtp_pass
source ~/.creds/mutt.pass
