mutt has nothing do with this - it's your editor that composes the post.

This just documents the command line syntax, instructs you to use :help
within the program, which gets you details on how to make the program
work. What you want is to say ":set tw=76" or whatever length you wish
within vim. To make this the default for all vim sessions, put the
command (without the :) in a file called ~/.vimrc.
mutt simply uses the default editor - you can change this using the
alternatives system.
