I think you must be mistaken, because A) that would be insane, B)
would require a lot of pointless work to remove it from many shell
utilities (and all of the shells), and C) I see references to it
being supported, for example in ssh and ssh-agent, the mktemp man
page, the ksh (openbsd's default shell) man page, etc..
I did see reference to support for $TMPDIR being removed from crontab
("because it's not useful in crontab"), which seems kind of idiotic to
me, as well as sendbug and newfs (why would newfs need $TMPDIR anyway?
Though it seems useful in sendbug)... but that does not amount to it
being removed from the core system.
That said, none of it matters in the context of Mutt, unless they went
out of their way to remove support for it in their port... but even
then you can always just get the source.
