Steps to reproduce

1. Spec an external installation of MKL as intel-oneapi-mkl +cluster in packages.yaml
2. Install any package with the above intel-oneapi-mkl +cluster as a dependency.

This bug was introduced in #37386. Since externals don't have dependencies in their specs, the reference to mpi fails and results in an error.

It would be ideal to have a fix which accomplishes the same goal as the above PR but in a way which works for external MKL as well, as the PR is valuable for fixing build errors which result when building serial libraries, for example blaspp ^intel-oneapi-mkl +cluster.
