I have never been that keen vs I have never been that much keen

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I have never been that keen' is the more common and natural way to express that you have never been very interested or enthusiastic about something. On the other hand, 'I have never been that much keen' is less common and sounds a bit awkward. It could be used in a very informal context, but it is not the typical way to convey the same idea.
