No. The Postfix sendmail command expects input in UNIX TEXT format.
If you provide something different, then all bets are off.

begin speculation
Your MUA (mutt) simply does what you told it to do. If you told it
to use Content-type: text/plain, while the input is not in UNIX
TEXT format, then all bets are off.
end speculation
The mere fact that some MTAs silently strip the extra CR does not
make it right.
