You need -editidx. With the resources you mention, the changes should
show up when a new message is added.

Look at the mha-dbedit program. Documented in an appendix section
of the docs and automatically installed when you install mhonarc.

If you want to rebuild index pages but not message pages you can
use GENIDX. Example:
mhonarc -genidx -outdir /path/to/archive > /path/to/archive/maillist.html
mhonarc -genidx -thread -outdir /path/to/archive > /path/to/archive/threads.html
If you have multi-page indexes, than you should probably write a shell
script to do it by setting the -pagenum option in a loop to recreate
all pages of the indexes.
Test things out before overwriting existing index files.
