Since you need to tell mutt which folders are maildirs, why can't you tag directories in the directory list to tell mutt that those are maildirs and have mutt write that into its config? Why doesn't mutt optionally ask you when creating a new maildir if you want to add the new directory to your mailboxes?
It's easy enough to write a shell/python/perl script to scan your mail directory, ignoring boxes/folders your don't want, and spit out muttrc lines. Then just call that script from your mutt rc and you are good to go. Everytime you restart mutt, it's got all your mailboxes ready to go.
