FWIW, my final setup looks like this:

# .muttrc
source ~/.mutt/default_address.cf
macro generic \e1 ":source ~/.mutt/default_address.cf\r"
macro generic \e2 ":source ~/.mutt/alternative_address1.cf\r"
macro generic \e3 ":source ~/.mutt/alternative_address2.cf\r"
macro generic \e4 ":source ~/.mutt/alternative_address3.cf\r"

# default_address.cf
set my_address = "xyz at eden.one"
set my_pgp_key = '257A9B6F3DEDCA11319000877CD4656792A3A1F4'
source '~/.mutt/set_address.cf'

# set_address.cf
set from=$my_address
set pgp_default_key = $my_pgp_key
set status_format="-%r $my_address: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---"
unmy_hdr *
my_hdr Bcc: $my_address
