If "mixed mode" is enabled I2P torrents are allowed to also get peers from other sources than the tracker, and connect to regular IPs, not providing any anonymization. This may be useful if the user is not interested in the anonymization of I2P, but still wants to be able to connect to I2P peers

That's what the description says.

So then, with mixed mode disabled, I'll be fully anonymous?

If you use only I2P torrents, yes 👍

does it still require port forwarding for seeding ? (yeah, I know port forwarding isn't required for torrenting)

As in I2P itself or bittorrent? In order for I2P to access the network it needs to be able to access the internet. If you're behind a router, that does mean either enabling universal plug and play (UPnP) or manually opening a port for it that forwards traffic to the port on the I2P machine. UPnP is obviously the easiest (if you're behind a router).

I2P?

An alternative to TOR that's better for P2P.
