mutt will happily send whatever garbage it's fed as US-ASCII or
iso-8859-1
unless you specifically tell it that you want Japanese messages sent out as

Japanese. Make sure that the outgoing mail from mutt has something like
    charset="iso-2022-jp"
somewhere in the headers.

BTW, some people may tell you to use mutt-j instead, but vanilla mutt is 
sufficient for your testing purposes. (mutt-j addresses more subtle
problems
that occur when using Japanese on a regular basis.)
