what's a mixnet? How does onion routing from LN apply to chaumian mints? In LN it makes sense because the routing goes through multiple nodes before reaching the destination.

It's how I understood it and it's also why Chaum devised mixnets. They replace the chain with a (semi) centralised issuer, so without a mixnet you are leaving traces of your network location.

Note that LN uses onion routing to forward payments.
