In one of the latest versions of mutt was a bug causing the same error.
Mutt searched for "sendmail" (i.e. not real sendmail but a wrapper to
actually installed MTA) in wrong place. 
Possible solutions were:
 o      make a symlink /usr/bin/sendmail to a real place of sendmail
        (probably /usr/sbin/sendmail)
 o      tell mutt to search in a real place with the command in
        /etc/Muttrc (or ~/.muttrc): set sendmail="/path/to/sendmail"
 o      upgrade mutt
