Let's start with the exception:

send-hook ~l 'set record='

Now, you'll note that all the rest of these amount to the same thing: 
"if I'm in mailbox X, save the message to mailbox X".

>  - if I compose an email from my spool mailbox, I'd like mutt to 
>  save the outgoing message in my spool mailbox;

The following will do that:

     fcc-hook . ^

The question is: how do you want these two to interact. If you simply 
put them both in your muttrc, the fcc-hook will always override the 
send-hook. If you'd like the send-hook to override the fcc-hook, use 
this (AFTER the fcc-hook) instead:

     fcc-hook ~l /dev/null

Alright, technically, that's a hack, since mutt's still saving the 
FCC. Unfortunately doing something like this:

     fcc-hook ~l ''

... doesn't work.

There are probably a half a dozen other ways of doing this. Here's 
another method:

     send-hook .  'set record=^'
     send-hook ~l 'set record='
