pine/alpine are not more supported.

However, what you want can be done if you use a small perl script  which
using "libnet-imap-simple-perl"  which  pull  down  the  config  from  a
"secret" folder and pass it to mutt with the option

    mutt -F <downloaded_config>

or if you have a Webserver available you can do

  TMPCONFIG=`mktemp -t muttrc.XXXXXX || exit 1`
  wget -O ${TMPCONFIG} http://www.your-server.here/secret_muttrc_name
  if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    mutt -F ${TMPCONFIG}
  fi
  rm -f ${TMPCONFIG}
