My MC opens images in FEH all the time. I set it up this way:

In ~/.config/mc/mc.ext

### Images ###

type/^GIF
	Include=image

type/^JPEG
	View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh view jpeg
	Include=image

type/^PC\ bitmap
	Include=image

type/^PNG
	Include=image

type/^JNG
	Include=image

type/^MNG
	Include=image

type/^TIFF
	Include=image

type/^PBM
	Include=image

type/^PGM
	Include=image

type/^PPM
	Include=image

type/^Netpbm
	Include=image

shell/.xcf
	Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh open xcf

shell/.xbm
	Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh open xbm

shell/.xpm
	Include=image
	View=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh view xpm %f

shell/.ico
	Include=image

shell/i/.svg
	View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh view svg
	Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh open svg

include/image
	Open=feh %f
	View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh view ALL_FORMATS


Hope it helps.
