Strange: "which mup" should include mup at the end, something like

/usr/local/bin/mup-5.7/bin/mup

If that's the case, check what $PATH are set to in the shell and
from within Vim. The same command works in both:

bash$ echo $PATH
:echo $PATH

They *should* be the same, but perhaps for some reason it's
getting tweaked before you go into vim.

Also, make sure that you can execute an unqualified "mup" on the
command-line, removing vim from the picture.

Lastly, if it works unqualified from the command-line, I'd check
for any aliases that are silently interfering.

At least that's where I'd start...
