FWIW, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2356981 is one of two open
bugs for mutt, so as is often the case, checking bugzilla
first is a good plan.

I had looked at the spec file for mutt and ran mutt -v and
SENDMAIL points to /usr/bin/sendmail, so it's unclear
whether the reported setting from ":set ?sendmail" is buggy
output or is the leading / is actually missing somehow.

I'd first ensure that the sendmail symlinks point to postfix
as they should and then try to send mail before getting too
lost in any mutt config settings.
