Is it possible to break into trading at shops like Akuna, DRW, Optiver without knowing any coding if you have strong mental math skills?
Unlikely
Do they actually ask you coding questions in interviews for trading not quant research roles?
Depends on the shop and role - do your own research. These shops will require to be a proficient coder in most trading roles
At those 3 particular shops no. Akuna divides Trading Interns from Quant Trading Interns. DRW and Optiver do not as well (from my knowledge). However, it is good to have a solid understanding of algos. I interned at Akuna.
I don't see Akuna has a coding test for trading position. Did they actually ask you coding questions during your interview?
