I just updated to 9.1.0722 this morning on my mac but the filetype detection 
seems
to be working fine for me.

Checking $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim [1] reveals that the filetype should get
set when the name of the buffer matches one of the patterns specified.

For me, mutt launches vim with a file name beginning with "mutt-*" which
matches the pattern "mutt{ng,}-*-\w\+" in [1]. So check the filename
mutt is creating for you.

Running the command ':verbose set filetype?' after mutt launches vim
should give you an output similar to mine, and more specifically should
show up as being under the $VIMRUNTIME directory unless you've
overridden it:

  filetype=mail
        Last set from 
<home>/.local/pkg/vim/9.1.0722/share/vim/vim91/filetype.vim line 1384
