I'm not sure about this as a required behavior, and others have spoken
against it in the past. Generally they vehemently recommend using
"screen". However...

... I do like the idea of an exit-hook (or quit-hook, if you prefer),
and coding mutt to call exit-hook on SIGHUP seems fair to me. It would
also be an easy configuration option to make this behavior optional.
It's a way to provide this feature with existing tools.
