If you don’t write in plain text that my password is this and the login is in such capital letters in the middle of the page, then there is no reason to worry.

mht file has roughly the same structure that an email is an HTML page with pictures and other embedded elements, incl. scripts. If you enter a password on such a page, then yes, you can pull it out. Otherwise, opening MHT is the same as opening a local HTML page. Those. theoretically, if everything is fine, then nothing can be pulled out until you enter it yourself. In practice, the MHT file may contain exploits that exploit bugs in browsers or flash.
