Try /etc/mc/mc.ext which calls /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh

I have in /etc/mc/mc.ext:

include/image
        Open=feh %f
        View=feh %f ALL_FORMATS

but that does not help

Sorry, I can't help any further, mc doesn't open images at all for me,
and I've never worried about fixing it. I use it for admin work only.

Either there, or (my preference) ~/.config/mc/mc.ext

I'm not sure what your 'include' directive is doing (it's impossible to
know without seeing the rest of your file). Try replacing that line with a
simpler 'shell/.jpg' or similar, restart mc, and see if it works.

I can't be sure whether the existence of the latter prevents the /etc
file being read, or just overrides it. In any case, the first matching
rule is what is used, so if it's there it needs to be correct.

It looks as if you've just replaced the shell command with feh.
I don't know what feh thinks of ALL_FORMATS, but it needs removing.

Rant: I won't have feh on my system. man feh says
"feh — image viewer and cataloguer" but it will
happily modify your pictures (unless you set
-r--r--r--) without a word, ie it's an EDITOR,
not a viewer.

Cheers,
David.

I suppose, there is a menu in mc itself, where you can edit all the 
connections to a programm according to its ending.

Look at "Command", then "Edit extension file" (if you use English version). If  
you do not find it, cause your Debian is in another language, start mc by using 
LANG=C mc.

Good luck!

Hans
