You don't need the Mail-Followup-To: line.  From man muttrc:

       followup_to
              Type: boolean
              Default: yes

              Controls  whether  or  not  the Mail-Followup-To header field is
              generated when sending mail.  When set, Mutt will generate  this
              field  when  you are replying to a known mailing list, specified
              with the "subscribe" or "lists" commands.

It's set by default if you specify this address as a mailing list with
either 'subscribe' or 'list'.  honor_followup_to also defaults to yes,
so you shouldn't have to mess with this.

HTH,
