As far as I know: no. Mutt is a MUA (Mail User Agent) what basically means it's responsibility for sending mails ends when it delivers the mail to an external program or your someones mail server who take care of delivering the mail where it belongs to. The task of delivering mails and all tasks arround that (i.e. find out which mailserver is responsible for the destination mail adress, handle responses of these server etc.) is performed by special mailserver software designed for doing exactly that (MTAs, Mail Transport Agents). So you *could* set up such software on your box that does the delivery but you probably wouldn't be happy with this solution as some mail providers do not accept delivery attempts from dynamic ip addresses for spam prevention.
