Yes, that's the way mutt works. mutt still uses the distinction between
MUA (mail user agent, that is, mutt itself) and MTA (mail transfer
agent, that is, something like sendmail, exim, and-so-on).

You need to install an MtA like sendmail, exim, postfix, or similar. You
may, however, use a very simple one like ssmtp (it is available with
cygwin). This might be your easiest solution.

HTH,
