Well, it's indirect, but you could wrap mutt in a script which said:
#!/bin/sh
( cd $HOME/mail
when=`date +%Y-%m`
for mbox in *
do echo "mbox-hook =$mbox \"=archives/$when-$mbox\""
done >$HOME/.muttrc-auto
)
exec real-mutt-program ${1+"$@"}
and just source .muttrc-auto from .muttrc. Ugly but would work.
