Mounié, whose club were relegated from the English Premier League last season, gave the Squirrels a 1-0 halftime lead.
Moctar el Hacen levelled just after the break from a penalty only for Mounié to score twice more in the final warm-up match for both countries.
Benin are in Group F with defending champions Cameroon, Ghana and Guinea-Bissau while Mauritania face Angola, Mali and Tunisia in Group E.
