This should work, and it works for me. (Confirmed variables: %-encoding
of @ is not necessary.  The trailing / is not required, but it doesn't
hurt.)  My mutt version tracks development pretty closely, but nothing
notable has changed in URL parsing since 1.5.21.

By "fail", do you mean that you get an error message such as "Invalid
SMTP URL", or that you get authentication errors from the server?  Can
you send debug output showing what stages are successful?  Can you trace
smtp_fill_account in a debugger and confirm that it is not parsing your
url correctly?

Note that if your password contains a literal % character, that does
need to be encoded as %25.
