But if you don't have text/html in pass_mime_types, the HTML will be
filtered out before the conversion step. Could that be the issue?

You can put

DEFAULT_FILTER_ACTION = 2

in mm_cfg.py to change your installations default to Forward. While I
agree that making that the global default makes sense, I am reluctant
to change that at this point as it could be disruptive to those who
have come to expect it to be Discard.
