Looking at mutt, it seems logical to requires /usr/sbin/sendmail
since it is what is used in the default case. So using alternatives
seems to me the only way to fill the provides for mutt. So here is
what I propose (for esmtp, msmtp and ssmtp):

* use alternatives, but only for what is truely provided. So
  no mailq, no newaliases in the alternatives system, only 
  /usr/sbin/sendmail
* use a lower value for priority than real mta. Real mta are
  at 30, so maybe use 20.
* don't provide mta or MTA: nothing use it in fedora, and it is
  ambiguous (what is a MTA? Something that sends mail, or also receive
  and deliver locally)?
* don't provide smtpdaemon, this means that a smtp daemon is listening 
  on 127.0.0.1, and neither of these packages provide that.
