No, that is not the goal of the MOSH_KEY environment variable. That sets up the key, yes, but that's used for the initial connection, bootstrapped usually through ssh. After that, both the client and server are incrementing the AES-OCB counter, which means that it's not really possibly to reconnect to an existing mosh-server if you lose the mosh-client.
