Yes, that's an unfortunate thing indeed. I am not sure if nnmairix can be tuned a bit to use the agent. I download most of the groups I read in a local Gnus agent cache, and then read them from the cache. So I will try to see if nnmairix can 'peek into the cache' instead of fetching the articles over the wire.
