You can assign envelope_from_address=$from.  However, make sure you use 
a single quote on the send-hook command, to delay expansion of $from 
until the hook is executed:

send-hook '%L mutt' 'set from="googly.negotiator862 at aceecat.org" envelope_from_address=$from'

If you cover all cases with the send-hook, you could also put the final
assignment in its own send-hook:

send-hook '~A'      'set from="default at example.com"'
send-hook '%L mutt' 'set from="googly.negotiator862 at aceecat.org"'
[...]
send-hook '~A'      'set envelope_from_address=$from'
