"M-x recover-file" already does that.
As for "C-x C-f", Emacs just treats #foo# as any other file, and does
its usual encoding-detection guesswork. Since emacs-mule is very low
on the priority list of that guesswork, you almost always get
something that isn't emacs-mule.
However, if we are sure that files whose names match the pattern
"\\(\\`\\|/\\)#.+#\\'" are mostly Emacs auto-save files, I think
it's a good idea to add an appropriate association to
file-coding-system-alist defined on mule-conf.el.
