Does mutt read anything else in your .muttrc ?

When running mutt, what does it give you if you type

:set ?editor

?  Also, try issuing 

:set editor=vim

from within mutt.  Does this work?

good times,

Mutt should read /etc/Muttrc first, then your ~/.muttrc , so your
personal settings will override anything in /etc/Muttrc.

good times,
