It's possible they did have mithril and far more likely than other options. Moria wasn't reclaimed by the dwarves at the time the Dwarves of the Glittering Caves made a mithril gate for Minas Tirith. I HIGHLY doubt they smelted down large amounts of mithril heirlooms from Erebor or wherever to make a gate for foreigners, or that they even had enough heirlooms.
