Indeed, Mutt is not the right tool for sending emails from programs,
and msmtp seems to be the best one. I used msmtp like this:

1. Send a key publishing request:
----
/usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-wks-client \
        --create AB97233AD0EB0180882D1227799020EF6FF16876 user3 at tst1.fs.al \
    | msmtp \
        --read-envelope-from --read-recipients \
        --tls=on --auth=on \
        --host=smtp.tst1.fs.al --port=587 \
        --user=user3 at tst1.fs.al --passwordeval="echo pass3"
----

2. When the email with subject "Confirm your key publication" arrives,
save it as a text file.

3. Send the confirmation email with a command like this:
----
cat Confirm-your-key-publication.eml | /usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-wks-client --receive \
    | msmtp  \
        --tls=on --auth=on \
        --read-envelope-from --read-recipients \
        --host=smtp.tst1.fs.al --port=587 \
        --user=user3 at tst1.fs.al --passwordeval="echo pass3"
----

It is not that bad, if you know how to do it.
