The reason it's printing that out is that is hasn't found any 
authenticators that it supports. The next question, though, is: why? 
Is it simply not recognizing which authenticators the server is 
advertising? Is your version of SASL perhaps badly compiled (and/or 
configured) and not support those authenticators? Is it simply not 
handling failure well? I don't know which is the case for you. You can 
try running mutt in debug-mode (-d 2) to find out (a debug-log will be 
saved in ~/.muttdebug0). You can also try specifying which 
authenticators to use by adding the following to your muttrc:

     set smtp_authenticators="login"
