In the end my build of mutt with SASL and the following in muttrc
seem to work:-
    set smtp_pass='xxxxxxxxxxx'
    set smtp_url='smtp://cgreen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

No smtp_authenticators setting seems to get it to work.

It still seems a bit odd that you have to compile it with SASL in
order to get mutt to work with an SMTP server that doesn't require
authentication.
