mutt follows the unix tradition of separating responsibility and using

actual command mutt uses is configurable.

Exim would work.

Mutt doesn't speak SMTP because it isn't a mail server.

Either of those would work just as well.

See above.

In .muttrc :
auto_view text/html
# prefer the plain text version
alternative_order text/plain text/html
In /etc/mailcap (or ~/.mailcap, but the system-wide entry should
already be there) :
text/html; /usr/bin/links -dump '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text;
nametemplate=%s.html
