No, that's what send_charset does that in unstable versions.

I don't use LANG at all (so it defaults to "C", IIUC) but I set my
LC_CTYPE to lt_LT.iso-8859-13 and everything works perfectly. BTW I
also have charset set to "iso-8859-13" in .muttrc (and I have a couple
of macros to change it an load the appropriate font if I encounter an
occasional cyrillic mail).
AFAIU Mutt does not use locale information for determining charset at
all, it just uses it to determine which characters are printable
(otherwise it displays them as quotation marks).
