Hi Rambius,

I've just opened up my old .muttrc, and found this line:

set smtp_authenticators = 'gssapi:plain'

A haven't been using mutt for a while, but as far as I remember this was 
the heal of this problem.

If it does not work, try recompiling mutt in pkgsrc, and check if you 
had an option which enables this.

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mutt
$ make show_options

Hope this helps.

Regards,
FeZ
