Unfortunately MuseScore currently doesn't playback through the MIDI interface, but is limited to playback on Soundfonts installed on your computer.

There are plans to implement it in a later version I believe, but currently the focus is on getting score printout solid, which, as MuseScore is primarily a music typesetting application is perfectly reasonable.

To play back your music on your keyboard you would be better to use a MIDI sequencer such as Rosegarden.
