More likely mutt is using both. First reading the system's
/etc/Muttrc and then your local ~/.muttrc for any personalization.
When it encounters an error it may abort and not go furthern.
Thus errors in /etc/Muttrc could mean it never gets to ~/.muttrc.
I got it to recognize my ~/.muttrc file by removing duplicate
expressions, still get
echo "Test" | /usr/bin/mutt -s Hello d...@dalekelly.org
Error in /home/dale/.muttrc, line 353: smtp_user: unknown variable
source: errors in /home/dale/.muttrc
SMTP session failed: 530 authentication required
Could not send the message.
