Mutt will only send a message to a sendmail/sendmail wrapper program
(like mini_sendmail I think)... Did you remove the postfix compatible
/usr/sbin/sendmail program? You'll be dead if you do ;) Reinstall the
postfix RPM and see where is places sendmail and point mutt there..

.mutt/muttrc.options:#**--| sendmail |--**
.mutt/muttrc.options:# Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"

If you sendmail is elsewhere set it with
set sendmail="/where/is/postfix/sendmail -oem -i"
