I haven't paid a lot of attention to the Mutt side of configuring GPG
operation recently (since the setup that I put in place years ago has
been doing what I need), but off hand it sounds like you may be able to
do what you would like by commenting out the "keyserver" line in the
$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf file.
Once you do that, GPG won't try to automatically download keys for new
correspondents when checking signatures (it will instead give just you
a warning that the signature could not be verified), but it shouldn't
change the way it signs your outgoing messages...
