That's correct, 'cause /usr/sbin/sendmail is a link to /usr/sbin/exim,
if you're using Exim as your MTA.

This *is* your MTA; Mutt will just "give" it to your MTA, not "send"
it (if that makes it clearer). Then it's the MTA's job to actually
sent it out somewhere...

Oh, i just read the package description of 'ssmtp'. Ehm, it has
nothing to do with Exim (?). ssmtp is an own, very simple MTA, which
just delivers mail.
