You want mutt to take gpg at its word; don't change mutt.
To set the trust of a key, visit the --edit-key section of your gpg
manpage and look at the "trust" section. For a longer explanation, see here:

But if you met the owner of the key in person and saw the person's
valid ID (say at a key signing party...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party
...or something), you should go ahead and sign that person's key:
$ gpg --sign-key <Key_ID>
