This may seem like a silly question, but after you exported TZ, did
you restart Mutt *from that same shell*?

If not, do that.  If so... then it's hard to say what your problem
may be.  Setting TZ is the correct solution, but it may be that you
have something else in your environment that's interfering.  It's
impossible to guess what that might be.

We can start by checking to see that Mutt has the TZ environment
variable in its environment.  In Mutt, type:

  :set my_tz=$TZ
  :set ?my_tz

(Yes, type the colons, to start a command.)  This should show you what
the value of the TZ variable is in Mutt's environment.
