You are actually thinking along the same lines I've been thinking.
If the mixer tank and blade were up high, like on a really strong
scaffold, but still mounted on a trailer, you wouldn't need the trash
pump.
You'd only need to pump the water up to the tank and then use a
trough. Gravity would do the work with the wet mix.
Still would have to lift the dry paper, dry cement, and whatever
additives you are planning, but you've got the front-end loader on the
tractor to make that easier.

require the tractor be disconnected from the mixer so it could be used
for lifting the hopper (that's what that device is called over here).
The mix would have to be transferred to the hopper for delivery to the
form. That would require the mixer be high enough in relation to the
hopper for gravity feeding the mix. That's not impossible . . .
