I use mutt as well and you're right, it isn't smtp-aware.  In both of our
cases, we'd have to configure our MTAs to talk to dev.gentoo.org via asmtp.

Another option is implementing a CA and handing out gentoo-signed certs to
developers.  We could then authenticate via certificates instead of
passwords.  That's quite a bit more complex, but I believe more MTAs
support TLS than asmtp.  (though I'm hoping to be proven wrong on this
point)
