mutt supports dumping all configuration options. Simplay use the -D 
switch. Unfortunately this does not work for other configuration 
setting like color, I believe.

Besides that mutt uses /etc/Muttrc I believe the location of the 
system configuration files do depend on $SYSCONFDIR which is set up by 
the configure script.

Additionally since mutt supports sourcing other files, your grep 
command will not catch additional configuration files.
