Mutt, SMTP, SASL and GSSAPI

Hi,

I am having trouble sending emails from Mutt on my Arch installation.  This worked fine until i updated a couple of weeks ago.

The particular problem in the debug output seems to be:

SASL: GSSAPI Error:  Miscellaneous failure (see text) (open(/tmp/krb5cc_1000): No such file or directory)
smtp_auth_sasl: GSSAPI unavailable
No authenticators available

But here's a bit more context.  Note, i am using the built in smtp with an smtp url that's completely different to my imap url.

Connected to smtp.<mysmtpdomain>:587 on fd=5
5< 220 smtp1.mail.<mysmtpdomain> ESMTP Exim 4.69 Thu, 27 May 2010 00:25:36 +0100
5> EHLO <myimapdomain>
5< 250-smtp1.<mysmtpdomain> Hello <mybox>

5< 250-PIPELINING
5< 250-STARTTLS
5< 250 HELP
5> STARTTLS

5< 250-PIPELINING
5< 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN GSSAPI
5< 250 HELP
SASL local ip: <ipaddr1>;48734, remote ip:<ipaddr2>;587
External SSF: 256
External authentication name: <smtpusername>
mutt_sasl_cb_authname: getting user for smtp.<mysmtpdomain>:587
SASL: GSSAPI Error:  Miscellaneous failure (see text) (open(/tmp/krb5cc_1000): No such file or directory)
smtp_auth_sasl: GSSAPI unavailable
No authenticators available

Googling doesn't seem to get me anywhere.  There's some mention of kinit/klist and so forth.  I haven't set up any Kerberos stuff, but it seems to have been pulled in by an update i did several weeks ago:

me@mylaptop$ klist -5
klist: No ticket file: /tmp/krb5cc_1000

The weird thing is, it works fine from my debian box, using GSSAPI and such, even though i don't seem to have things like kinit or klist installed there.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Update: adding

set smtp_authenticators="plain"

in my .muttrc is a workaround, though maybe not a great one...
