I glanced through the code and I think the place to connect the terminal
app with the mutt-session, i.e. lauch there a script which invokes at
the end 'mutt' is in ubuntu-terminal-app/src/plugin/qmltermwidget/src/ksession.cpp
where the session is defined as:

    QString envshell = getenv("SHELL");
    QString shellProg = envshell != NULL ? envshell : "/bin/bash";
    session->setProgram(shellProg);

    setenv("TERM", "xterm", 1);

    //session->setProgram();

    QStringList args("");
    session->setArguments(args);
    session->setAutoClose(true);

    session->setCodec(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));

    session->setFlowControlEnabled(true);
    session->setHistoryType(HistoryTypeBuffer(1000));

    session->setDarkBackground(true);

    session->setKeyBindings("");

    return session;

Do you agree?
