Is there any way to pass this to a mixin class that implements an interface via delegation? (i.e. class Class : Interface by Mixin(this). It's possible to pass this but for some reason it refers to the companion instead of the instance itself. I realize that I could just instantiate the mixin in the class body and delegate all methods manually, but that's quite annoying.

Unfortunately no. You can track this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-5870

Not even with some hacky trick using delegation to anonymous classes? In its current state the delegation syntax really isn't all that useful...

You could pass in a delegate d using the constructor and then add an init block like this: init { d.initWith(this) }

The init block is probably the first place where you can get a reference to the instance
