Axolotls not providing regeneration effect after kills
Axolotls are not providing the regeneration effect, nor cleansing mining fatigue, upon defeating a hostile mob which was engaged in combat with the axolotl and the player.
I would allow the axolotls to begin combat with guardians, and then join in after ensuring the axolotl was targeted by the mob; whether the killing blow was done by me, or the axolotl, the result was the same: no regeneration.
I also tried the same tests after I started combat with a guardian first, and the axolotl would join me, to no avail.
The mobs engaged were guardians and elder guardians, neither of which triggered the effect on death.
The axolotls used were wild (brown), cyan, and gold. I had up to three axolotls in a single fight, and as few as just one assisting me.
Environment
Windows 10 (Windows 11 capable). Microsoft Surface Pro 7 tablet. Vanilla Minecraft (Java), using latest build; single player world (formerly a Realms world, recently removed from Realms due to Realms constantly crashing and reverting game to previous auto-saves).

Was not able to replicate this. As long the player gets final blow on the entity in the fight, the mining fatigue is removed and regen is properly given.
It seems the axolotls were likely stunned into playing dead when the mobs were slain, which prevents them from applying the regeneration.
