With homebrew, mutt is linked against the ncurses supplied with macOS.
This version is relatively old.

| % /usr/bin/ncurses5.4-config --version --abi-version
| 5.7.20081102
| 5.4

I don't use homebrew but I use mutt with a self-installed ncursesw and
have no issues.

| % mutt -v | grep 'Mutt 2\|ncurses'
| Mutt 2.2.10 (2023-03-25)
| ncurses: ncurses 6.4.20230603 (compiled with 6.4)

Maybe it is sufficient to install a newer ncurses with homebrew.
