That's fair, but also consider the complexity of the configuration
required for a user on a multi-user system to get SMTP-AUTH with the
password being asked (only once possibly).
It is right now not possible and would involve multiple programs (one
for caching the password and another to send the mail), which must be
separately configured. Compare this with just writing in muttrc
something like:
set smtp_server smtp.blabla.com
set smtp_user username
That would be user friendly.

Are you storing the password in clear text somewhere? Does that work in
a multi-user environment (where every user has different SMTP AUTH
servers)? I am really curious, maybe I just fail to see how I can solve
my problem.
