Does mutt use localhost:25 or the sendmail binary to send the mail?
It can use both IIRC.
I guess mutt cannot talk to SMTP directly. (correct me if I am wrong) If that is the case, how do I send my mail through vsnl's SMTP server?
It is best to go through your local sendmail regardless, because sendmail will handle queueing if you send mail while offline.
Do I have to change the configuration of localhost sendmail?
Yes, there are several sendmail howtos for dialup connections. I've got one on the db.ilug-bom server, and suresh ramasubramanian has one at hserus.net

Only if you patch it to speak SMTP.

You can always tell mutt to feed into localhost 25/tcp.
