I am not sure about this error but usually Mutt fails for me if I use
it under firewall,
proxy settings or vpn. So, I don't use it anymore. Git send-email
works good for me.
If you can't figure out the solution of this error and want to go for
the git send-email
then you can check this blog:

https://burzalodowa.wordpress.com/2013/10/05/how-to-send-patches-with-git-send-email/

It just requires to set up .gitconfig. I can share my settings but I
think that blog explains
almost everything in detail.
