No cure and you should remove as much of the affected roots as possible when you take out teh tree and there are one or two things you can do to help the soil and choose non susceptible plants.
I'm interested as I have two big mimosas in my garden here as well as a related silk tree.

Oh no ? Obelixx it looks and sounds exactly like verticillium wilt...
The whole tree is affected and there seems to be no cure...
I do wonder whether dumping some heavy duty fungicide into the soil, once mimosa has gone, to kill off the spores, may help?
Worst possible outcome for this poor tree, but good to know what we're dealing with.
Thanks for your time Obelixx - I can always rely on you ?
I don't know about fungicide as it may also kill good ones. However I did find this - https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/verticillium-wilt-treatment.htm
