The indent_string is, like many of mutt's other strings, possible to
set automatically with a program if it ends with a pipe character. For
comparison, you can set $signature like this:
set signature="/usr/bin/fortune|"
What you need to do to get what you want is to escape the pipe
(unfortunately, twice), so that it isn't recognized as indicating that
the setting should come from a program. I put this in my config, and
it worked:
set indent_string=" \\|"
