How is your Mutt configured with respect to sending?

Is that name really correct; the name of your account on the smarthost?
Doublecheck it.

You could try extending your "plain" authenticator to handle client-side
as well, as your smarthost supports it. However, your password would
be travelling the wire in clear, a security issue. I'm amazed your ISP
doesn't offer STARTTLS on 587. Do they support SSL-on-connect
(most common on 465)?
