That should work.
Are you sure that when you're composing mails you're using the
mail-mode?
If this is not the case you can try this in your emacs configuration
file (assuming you're using something as:
set tmpdir=~/tmp # where to store temp files
in your muttrc file):
(push '(".*/tmp/mutt.*\\'" . mail-mode) auto-mode-alist)
to automatically set up the mail-mode when composing messages with
mutt.
