esmtp will contact the appropriate SMTP server on your behalf and will use the correct credentials to connect (if required).
What happens if sending fails (for whatever temporary reason)? Will esmtp queue the mail, like a real MTA would? The issue is problematic with all those "minimalistic" pseudo-MTAs because mutt thinks it's delivering to a real sendmail, and hence doesn't handle failure gracefully (at least not afair). Mozilla otoh, initiating the smtp connection by itself, will let you retry, or save it to a Drafts folder. With mutt, your mail is probably gone.
