Can you reproduce the problem using gnutls-cli?  It sounds as if you
have a RSA-MD5 signature somewhere in your chain, and the chain is
rejected.  Please post output of running gnutls-cli against your server
as suggested earlier in this bug.

If you could quote some error messages from mutt and msmtp, that will
also help -- however, to debug it is best to first try to isolate the
problem using gnutls-cli.  If it's not possible to reproduce using
gnutls-cli, I would suggest a mutt/msmtp problem.
