Untested: use a minimal local sendmail command which tries to talk to a
configurable port via SMTP; there are several available. Forward that
port to the remote server via SSH in a wrapper around mutt.
~/bin/mutt:
#!/bin/sh
ssh -N -L 2525:localhost:25 my.ssh.host &
sshpid=$!
/usr/bin/mutt "$@"
kill $sshpid
And have the local MTA pass to localhost:2525.
