smart config --set keyserver=pgp.mit.edu

Note the double hyphen.

Usage: smart config [options]

This command allows changing the internal configuration
representation arbitrarily. This is supposed to be used
by advanced users only, and is generally not needed.

Options:
  -h, --help  Show this help message and exit
  --set       Set given key=value options
  --show      Show given options
  --remove    Remove given options
  --force     Ignore problems

Examples:
  smart config --set someoption.suboption=10
  smart config --remove someoption
  smart config --show someoption
  smart config --show


note:  there is a reason for 'command --help' and the man files.

smart config --set keyserver=subkeys.pgp.net
             ^^

I would also recommend to use subkeys.pgp.net instead of pgp.mit.edu
The latter seems to be known to have some service outages at times, and
is not reachable through port 80, which might causes problems when
you're behind a firewall or proxy you don't control (e.g. at work ;)).
Retrieving keys from subkeys.pgp.net goes through HTTP, so no problems
there.

cheers
