TFM suggests:
The built-in SMTP support supports encryption (the smtps protocol using
SSL or TLS) as well as SMTP authentication using SASL. The
authentication mechanisms for SASL are specified in
$smtp_authenticators defaulting to an empty list which makes Mutt try
all available methods from most-secure to least-secure.
and:
3.263. smtp_authenticators
Type: string
Default: (empty)
This is a colon-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may
attempt to use to log in to an SMTP server, in the order mutt should
try them. Authentication methods are any SASL mechanism, e.g.
"digest-md5", "gssapi" or "cram-md5". This option is case-insensitive.
If it is "unset" (the default) mutt will try all available methods, in
order from most-secure to least-secure.
Example: set smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
