Okay, it appears that the real problem is not with your mutt setup,
but with your ssmtp setup. I don't know much about ssmtp, but I do know
that it has more-or-less been abandoned. You may be able to find
information about how to configure ssmtp on the web... I know some
people use and love ssmtp, but I'm personally not a fan (for many
reasons, many having to do with it being abandon-ware).
I would recommend using a different package: msmtp. It has a web page
(http://msmtp.sf.net) and a lot of documentation and active
development. I would suggest installing that, setting it up, and
telling mutt to use that instead of ssmtp.
That being said, some folks get a lot of mileage out of ssmtp and may
be able to help you set it up. I am not one of them. :)

We're all beginners at some point. :)
