Maybe edit_headers

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name: edit_headers
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This option allows you to edit the header of your outgoing messages along
# with the body of your message.  Although  the  compose menu may have
# localized header labels, the labels passed to your editor will be
# standard RFC2822 headers, (e.g. To:, Cc:, Subject:).  Headers  added  in
# your editor must also be RFC2822 headers, or one of the pseudo headers
# listed in “edit- header”.  NeoMutt will not understand localized header
# labels, just  as  it  would  not when parsing an actual email.  Note
# that changes made to the References: and Date: headers are ignored for
# interoper‐ ability reasons.

set edit_headers

I use the setup like this:

send2-hook . unset pgp_sign_as
send2-hook '~f @domain1.tld' set pgp_sign_as=0xABC
send2-hook '~f @domain2.tld' set pgp_sign_as=0x123
