According to <https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which
user-specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should
be used.
That would make it ~/.config/mutt/muttrc unless that environment variable
is set (which it never is in any sensible setup).
So, either the OP has placed the wrong lines in the wrong file, or they
have misrepresented their setup.
