What do you see?

If you omit this, libiconv is still found? Is it linked?

Could you please pick 2 or 3 standard locales available in the
"locale -a" list, say cs_CZ, en_US, and en_US.UTF-8, export LC_ALL=each
one in turn, and report: "locale charmap" at shell, and
":set &charset ?charset" in Mutt? After the check, unset LC_ALL, and do
not set it again in any startup scripts (LANG suffices).

Pick your system iconv command (not /usr/local/bin/iconv), and try:
| $ printf "Ren\xC3\xA9\n" | /usr/bin/iconv -f utf-8 -t ibm852
| René
| $ printf "Ren\xC3\xA9\n" | /usr/bin/iconv -f utf-8
| René
| $ printf "Ren\xE9\n" | /usr/bin/iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t ibm852
| René
| $ printf "Ren\xE9\n" | /usr/bin/iconv -f iso-8859-2 -t ibm852
| René
Bye! Alain.
