Sendmail is doing that, not mutt. There's no way for mutt to control
what appears there. The only way to alter that would be to alter the
format for Received: headers in your sendmail.cf file.
But, it's also not much of a problem. That isn't the envelope sender
(that doesn't appear in sendmail-generated Received: headers),
sendmail's just recording where it got the message. As with everything
in Received: headers, this value should never be used for anything other
than tracing where a message came from.
The only reason that this might be a problem is if you want your login
name to be kept secret.
If you are actually having problems with the envelope sender being used,
setting $envelope_from may help.

It's used for several things:
- If $use_domain is set, it's added to any addresses (either sender or
recipient) that don't already have domains attached. This is the only
one that's really important.
- Message IDs
- File names for messages in maildir-format mailboxes.
- Names for various temporary files.
