Not necessarily, just very common. However, suddenlink seems to require 
the full e-mail address as well.

Can't find any mention of this in neomuttrc(5), care to provide a 
source?

just fine to me with Gmail and GMX.

As far as I can tell mutt's SMTP support should work just fine without 
setting any domain in /etc/mailname as it's used only for setting the
