Mutt doesn't have this functinality. Currently you can set up send-hook's
for addresses which are exceptions to your default from address (this is what
I do for switching between Mutt and non-Mutt mail), or use ESC-f in the
send menu to edit your from address. There is not a way to manually
edit the from address prior to editing the message.
Perhaps a couple of macros to send new mail with a certain address would
solve your problem? Something along the lines of:
macro index m ':my_hdr from: <primary.address>\n<compose>'
macro index r ':my_hdr from: <primary.address>\n<reply>'
macro index g ':my_hdr from: <primary.address>\n<group-reply>'
macro index \em ':my_hdr from: <alt.address>\n<compose>'
...
