Are you setting it in your config somewhere? (test it my running `mutt
- -F /dev/null` and seeing what the value of $charset is there)

Okay, I think the first thing you need to do here (aside from ensure
that you're not setting $charset manually somewhere) is to find out
what locales your machine supports. Something like this will probably
work:
locale -a | grep '^pt_BR'
Whatever it outputs, those are the values your computer (currently)
understands, and so those are the values that LANG or the LC_*
variables can be set to.
It's possible that if you really want your xterm to only display
ISO-8859-1 characters, you may have to install the right character
sets (how to do this is often distro-dependent).
On the other hand, if your machine ALREADY correctly understands
UTF8... go with it! UTF8 is far more capable than ISO-8859-1 or any
other ISO charset.

What do you mean "no luck"? Did mutt refuse to allow you to set an
alternate $charset value? If the value of $charset got reset, then
either the value is being reset by some other part of your
configuration, or your mutt is broken.
