I cannot explain inconsistent behavior, but there are options you can
give to Sendmail so that it always queues and sends mail in the
background. In that case, theoretically, Sendmail should always
return immediately to Mutt.
Most Sendmail slowness that I've seen can be attributed to slow DNS
queries.

Cron? I wouldn't necessarily run it from cron, but if you never want
to run Sendmail in daemon mode (-bd), that sounds like your only
option.
