limesdr mini does not have a onboard-clock which is good (precise) enough for gsm requirements. there is no input which can easily be used with an external source like a gpsdo. thus there is no realistic way to reliably do gsm with the -mini, sorry.
External clock can be enabled with LimeSDR Mini, but requires moving (soldering) a 0R link and then you always have to use external clock. Daniel Estevez put together a nice write-up:

Supreeth Herle has also created an LMS API port of Kalibrate, that can be used to calculate and update VCTCXO DAC value in EEPROM:

This is obviously not as good as having a GPSDO or similar, but may help.
