Your mixer should have some stationary fingers in the tub that catch the meat mix off the rotating paddle. On my mixer the fingers are removable for cleaning and it is possible to reassemble them upside down. Not sure how yours are attached. On one occasion when I assembled the fingers incorrectly, I noticed the meat did not catch on them correctly and would just spin with the paddles. Changing direction of rotation sometimes helps too. The stationary fingers on my mixer are shown at the top of the picture.

Reviewing some posts of other people having problems grinding meat reminded me of a recent experience I had, and why you need to rule out the obvious when troubleshooting equipment problems. Some friends and I had made sausage one weekend and after washdown, one of the new guys had reassembled the grinder head as we normally do so it would be ready to use the next week. The following week, I was working alone and had just starting to grind some pork butt. I noticed the grinder was putting out mush meat and not feeding properly so I shut down the grinder. I took the nut off the grinder and pulled the plate out and saw that my buddy had put the knife in backwards with the cutting edge facing inwards when he reassembled the grinder after the previous use. Yeah, everyone is entitled to make a rookie mistake like that once. The take away is, grinders are really simple machines and there are not many things that can go wrong. When you do have grinding problems: Understand how the plate and knife are supposed to fit in your grinder. Make sure your knife and plate are sharp. This is probably not a huge concern if you own a newer grinder and are a hobbyist/ occasional user. For best results, only grind very cold or partially frozen meat. Warm meat does not feed well in most grinders.

If it was a widespread problem and experienced by others, I would think Excalibur would have heard about it. Could the water in your local area have something unique about it? The water you add is the only unique variable I can think of, and you said you experienced some foaming when you combined the seasoning with the water… Maybe split a batch and use water with half and do the other half without and note and differences.
