Thanks to all of you for trying to solve my problem. But I have been
trying to setup mutt for nine days now. I have followed all your advice
and instructions to the best of my ability, to no avail. My E-mail
providers don't seem to know that CLI clients exist. They keep asking me
to take a snapshot of the preferences menu. Much as I want to use a CLI
client, Thunderbird, Claws, and Evolution were able to connect me within
15 minutes so I will go back to Thunderbird. And truthfully it's
Fastmail that's the problem as other accounts work as expected.
Thanks again.

As instructed I changed it to...
set smtp_url ="smtp://ionm...@eml.cc@smtp.fastmail.com:587"
and also tried
set smtp_url ="smtp://ionm...@eml.cc@smtp.fastmail.com:465"
set smtp_url ="smtps://ionm...@eml.cc@smtp.fastmail.com:465"
Thanks Ranjan - that's right. Remember port 465 uses smtps://
both produced "Invalid SMTP URL: smtp.fastmail.com:465"
Check your muttrc to make sure you don't have the value specified
twice or something. That error message prints out the full value of
$smtp_url, so somehow Mutt has the value minus the
'smtps://ionm...@eml.cc@' prefix stored in $smtp_url.
You can also check the value at runtime by typing ':set ?smtp_url' and
hitting return.
