You may be getting the email, but something along the following lines
would be occurring on the server:
550 5.1.1 file_attachment.txt@xxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
550 5.1.1 -a@xxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
Reading mutt(1) you'd see:
mutt [-nx] [-e cmd] [-a file] [-F file] [-H file] [-i file] [-s
subj] [-b addr] [-c addr] addr [...]
Thus, the correct command should have been:
echo "hello world" | mutt -a ./file_attachment.txt -s
"Hello message" myemail@xxxxxxxxx
