Installing cy2-login worked for me. I checked the output of `pkg_info
cyrus-sasl` and it says that the cyrus-sasl package does not install
any authentication plugin modules. After some searching I found that
those modules live in pkgsrc/security/cy2-*. I installed cy2-gssapi
and set smtp_authenticators to gssapi in ~/.muttrc, but it did not
work. I installed cy2-login and set smtp_authenticators to
'gssapi:login' and it worked this time. I removed the cy2-gssapi
package, deleted smtp_authenticators line  completely and it worked
again.

Thank you all for your responses.

I don't have any experience with MTAs like sendmail and it looks
overwhelming. I hope I will have time some day to try it though.

Regards
Ivan
