AFAIK, Mutt doesn't allow you to do this directly.  However, you can edit
the original message to taste, then undelete the original (since Mutt
automatically marks it for deletion, but you're not really "editing"
it per se - you're simply replying to it manually), and finally bounce
(and move to your sentbox, if you don't use your inbox for that purpose)
your edited version.

Another option may be to create a reply normally, play with the attachment
structure to eliminate your would-be text/plain reply, and then edit
the text of the formerly-attached rfc822 email.  I've never tried this
in Mutt, though, so standard disclaimers apply.
