They're mostly identical; the only difference (I'm aware of/which is
relevant to me) is that in -1 there's the international currency sign
while in -15 there's the € at the very same position. In case you want
-15, just set send_charset to:
| send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-15:utf-8"
The utf-8 is necessary in case mutt finds characters in your mail which
cannot be expressed in -15 (so that utf-8 is the fallback enabling mutt
to cleanly transfer nearly anything). I don't think your settings make
much sence because technically there's no distinction between -1 and
-15; a few characters just look different.

Then it's likely a problem with the interaction between mutt and your
editor.
