If the timeline is correct he should be in his Mystic Gohan state and thus beyond any SSJ form?

Maybe toriyama just forgot. He's prone to do that.

Lol what? He's not that stupid, and someone would have noticed.

I dunno, he forgot to add tails to Goten and Trunks, and by the time he realised it was too late.

Well I guess that would be the canon reason but he mentions how he forgot to add them in one of the manga opening page things where the author writes a pargraph.

Wasn't Gohan born with a tail? So they should have had tails as well...

Well, dragon ball isn't well known for its consistent and excellent writing but the "action".

So, we could assume that hybrid saiyans (50% human/50% saiyan) have a 50% percent chance of being born with a tail or not. And Gohan simply got lucky.

Or the author simply forgot to give tails to Goten and Trunks. Regardless it's not something we should ponder so much about.

Possible reasons are either Gohan drastically powered down from his mystic form, or it's AT/Studio's fault.

This one is

Except that due to certain details like Kaio-sama's planet still existing, and Bulma claiming to be way younger than she should be (and I don't mean that she lies about her age or anything, it's played completely as her accidentally letting it slip after having been asked several times before and refusing to answer) the movie does not actually fit into the manga's timeline.

As for the actual question... Toriyama forgot about that little detail. However, someone involved in the process must have caught on to this continuity-error, as even though Gohan does fight in the movie, he does not transform. (There is a shot in the trailer of him transforming, but that same scene in the movie merely has a white aura appearing around him while his hair and eyes remain black, just like how it was in his battle against Boo.)
