I have been bitten by same bug.

Your MTA is exim.  The MTA gets your outgoing message _after_ you and
Mutt are done with it.  If your MTA overwrites your headers, Mutt cannot
do anything about that, since it has already relinquished control of
that message to your MTA.

Personally, I have qualify_domain commented OUT.
