Almost.  You would also need to list the registers you modified,
otherwise gcc will make the wrong assumptions about their contents.  So:

  /* ... */
  : "=m"(addr.segment),
    "=m"(addr.offset16)
  :  "m"(mx)
  : "ax", "dx", "di");

Although if I were to call a protected-mode interrupt, I would do the
control flow in C, so the asm can be simplified to:

  unsigned ax = mx << 8;
  __dpmi_raddr addr;
  
  asm
  (
    "int $0x2D"
    : "+a" (ax),            /* ax */
      "=d" (addr.segment),  /* dx */
      "=D" (addr.offset16)  /* di */
  );
  
  if ((ax & 0xff) != 0xff)
    continue;
  
  /* ... */

But this is not very relevant to your question anymore, of course :)

Last version of the code you posted looks good to me, I would expect
that to work.
