    Put
        set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -obd"
    in ~/.muttrc.

    Explanation, from exim's spec.txt
    -odb This option applies to all modes in which Exim accepts incoming
           messages, including the listening daemon. It requests 'background'
           delivery of such messages, which means that the accepting process
           automatically starts delivery process for each message received, but
           does not wait for the delivery process to complete. This is the default
           action if none of the -od options are present. It overrides a setting
           of "queue_only" in the configuration file.

    -D
