It _should_ read your muttrc last.
Is it possibly that you are failing to _undo_ something that was set in
/usr/local/etc/muttrc?

Can you post all your hdr_order and associated lines?

And a copy of the lines you removed from the main muttrc.

Then we can see what muttrc sees and deduce what it saw for comparison.
