Perfect. 

Added one additional line in msmtp-enqueue.sh to let me save my posts
to mbox (also gives me a chance to review them) before I trigger send
while being in mutt.

cat "$MAILFILE" | formail >> "$HOME/mail/sent-msmtp" || exit 1

Check the archives, possible several years back.  People have posted
scripts for this too. :)

Basically you set $sendmail to a script that appends your outbound
message to a folder (mbox or maildir, your call) and returns.  You can
have a cron job, an external script, or a macro that splits this folder
(using formail, if mbox, or basic looping structures if maildir) and
sends each message into ssmtp one by one.

I know this is not specific to mutt per se, and more to do
with my MTA, but anyways I will ask it. 

I use mutt + fetchmail + procmail + ssmtp. No issues, works
great. But just one feature I want to get going. I would 
like to send my replies or new messages later (all once, 
but they should get queued in a folder (mailbox), which I
should be able to review once, before sending them all in
one shot. (Something similar to Kmail - send later).

As I understand, ssmtp does not support message queuing, 
which is possible in other mta's, but if there is any
workaround to this (before I explore any other mta), would
like to know it.
