Flavia, my copy of A Dictionary of Informal Brazilian Portuguese has this:
pegar o bonde andando (sl.)
to join (something) already in progress, come in on the middle of (a program, conversation, etc.)
"Murilo turned on the TV a bit late just to find he had come into the middle of the movie he planned to watch" meaning he had to jump onto the passing tram. Whatever.

For conversations, "to butt in/into" is common.
I hate to butt in, but I heard you mention Porto Seguro, and I....
Frank is always butting into private conversations.
(The idea is that the person is hitting with his head as a goat or bull might do.)
"To interrupt" is more formal.
You can walk in halfway through the movie, in the middle of the movie...
You can crash a party.
Forgive me for crashing the party. I needed to talk to Susan and I neglected to call first.

Ex: her husband always chimes in, even when he is not involved in the conversation

I'm not sure if the expression in Portuguese implies the same meaning that you've presented. In my view, when you "chime in" or "cut in" you wind up interrupting an ongoing conversation in contrast to not being fully cognisant of the matter in hand, but here goes my take on this:
"I only caught the tail end of the conversation."
