I'm not going to start a flamefest over this.  However, I don't see
that the benefit of having SMTP support in mutt overrides the cost
of having to support yet another module in the future.

Which is why I would prefer not to include it.

That said, if this one is included, it would probably be useful to
add an option that makes it possible to set the envelope sender on a
per message basis.  This goes beyond the current envelope_from
option, as it would enable people to send their envelope from to be
different from the header from address.

(With the current MTA interface, one does this adding a -f parameter
to the sendmail command line.)
