I read the wiki and interested in mutt's native smtp support, so I installed extra/cyrus-sasl and decided to give it a try.
After search the online manual of muttrc, I add a few lines to my ~/.muttrc as follows:
set my_pass='mysecretpass'
set my_user=myname@gmail.com
set smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
set smtp_url=smtps://$my_user:$my_pass@smtp.gmail.com
Everything looks fine, until I sent a test mail. The mutt's status bar is always showing "sending message ..." for a long time, but nothing is sent. I felt frustrated.
Can anyone give me a suggestion? So much thanks.

Edit: The problem resulted from improper options in muttrc, which I've commented. Because I'm using the native IMAP support of mutt, some original options have to be commented, such as:
#set postponed=+drafts
#set record=+sent
P.S.
The SMTP port of Google is 587, while the SMTPS port is 465. It's not necessary to set this port manually.

try adding a :587 on the end of the url. i'm also not sure you even need /cyrus-sasl or the _authenticators bit. i didn't, back before i moved to an msmtp mutt setup.

Thank you. I'll go back to use msmtp anyway.
