I upgraded (using backports) to version 1.5.18 and added the "set smtp_url" to the .muttrc. I'm now getting an error message "no authenticators available".

That means that mutt doesn't know what to do with the authentication methods that your SMTP server is advertising. You can check out what they're advertising by running mutt in debug mode (or using telnet and issuing an EHLO command).

The real problem, though, may be that you need to link mutt against a better SASL library.
