I had the same problem and since I at the same time started to use
gpg, my understanding of the matter is of course very limited but
anyhow, this ugly hack solved the problem for me:

in /etc/Muttrc there is a line

set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap /usr/bin/gpg --comment ''  --passphrase-fd 0  --batch --quiet  --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"

set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap /usr/bin/gpg --comment 'foo'  --passphrase-fd 0  --batch --quiet  --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
