That's how it's suppposed to work.

You aren't seriously proposing that we should use the most insecure
way PGP provides for passing pass-phrases around in mutt, are you?
Mutt has a pass phrase cache and passes the pass phrase to pgp or
gpg whenever it's needed. If you don't want to re-type it every time
you need it, set $pgp_timeout to an appropriate value.

Try reading the manual. The options you are interested in are:
pgp_autosign
pgp_autoencrypt
pgp_replysign
