That's a good starting place.  However, I would suggest using
  --prefix=/usr/local
and removing
  --sysconfdir=/etc
to make sure things are installed separately from rpm-managed files.

Also,
  --enable-debug
is good to have, in case you run into problems.

Lastly, the latest mutt releases have started to bump up system 
requirements:
  * If your gpgme library is too old and you don't use gpgme,
    you can just leave '--enable-gpgme' out.
  * If your OpenSSL version is too old, you could try '--with-gnutls'
    instead of '--with-ssl'
  * An old system likely does not come with idn2, so you would
    want to use '--with-idn' instead.
