Ah, I think I understand.

The unalternative_order in my config is just necessary to scrub the old 
order and install a different one. Not what you need.

I think the problem is that auto_view is unconditional. So it fires 
whether there's a plain text version or not.

- comment out your auto_view

- you can drop the text/plain mailcap entry, mutt will do that just fine

- retry

That _should_ get you a chrome window if there's no text/plain, if I 
understand what's going on.
