According to the docs:

        http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html

        When you add an attachment to your mail message, Mutt searches
        your personal mime.types file at ${HOME}/.mime.types, and then
        the system mime.types file at /usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types
        or /etc/mime.types

It looks like your personal MIME type file should be ~/.mime.types
instead of ~/mime.types
