Utter is to speak or make sound with one's voice, but it can also mean "completely" or "totally"
Ex. "I uttered her name" = speaking
"I was utterly amazed" = completely amazed
Mutter is saying something in a quiet or low voice, usually complaining or mad.
Ex. "He muttered an insult at his boss".

No. "Mutter" means to speak softly and indistinctly. "Utter" can be a transitive verb meaning to speak something (at any volume) or an adjective meaning "complete."
