Mutt should detect a failing msmtp process even if it is backgrounded.
Try to disconnect from the net and send a test mail.

Msmtp has no mail queue. It returns success or failure directly; it
cannot queue mails for a later retry. You'll need a full MTA for that.

You can use the 'logfile' command to keep track of delivery success and
failure.
