To wrap this up, I did finally get sendmail working, as this message 
demonstrates.

I had to add the following to /etc/postfix/main.cf:

relayhost = [mail.messagingengine.com]:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_type = cyrus

I did create and hash the password file with postmap, as previously suggested.

Finally, I had to change the sendmail command in my .muttrc tp specify the 
"From:" user:

set sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -f pfd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -t" # how to deliver 
mail


Thanks to all for suggestions and explanations!

Cheers,
