Not sure that it does exactly, but... the ~U search-pattern matches installed and upgradeable packages, so 'aptitude install mumble ~U' should do the job, as install is also the aptitude command to upgrade a package if possible.
Failing that, 'aptitude full-upgrade && aptitude install mumble' will work, of course.
