That's very strange, I have been using mutt daily for as long as OpenSMTPD 
exists
and I have never ever ran into such an issue.

As for mail, there's definitely something broken on your side because `mail` 
uses
`sendmail` internally which should be a hardlink to `smtpctl` when OpenSMTPD 
gets
installed ... and `smtpctl` never uses "FROM FROM: foo@bar", so at the very 
least
your local enqueuer is incorrectly configured which probably explains mutt too.
