No, it does not fit in the least. He wasn't in battle against an army who had weapons of steel, he was in Valinor. Metal armour would not have even existed then because there were had been to that time no organized martial battles. There would have been no logic to Melkor's wearing armour of any kind unless it was the armour of Darkness itself (as indeed it was), nor to his having a sword: he stabbed the trees with a black spear.
