Despite all my years, I still have trouble figuring out what to say at restaurants when I'm not sure if a sandwich comes with mayo or not and i want to make clear I don't want it.
If I ask if it has mayo and it doesn't, they always ask if I want mayo. If I ask if it has mayo and it does, then I have to come back with "No mayo, please", and sound annoying. If I just say "No mayo" they say something like, "It comes with mustard. Do you not want that?" If I say something, like "If that has mayo on it, I don't want mayo." I sound like some sort of whiner.
Valuable minutes of my time have been lost to this, and, worse, I've sometimes ended up eating mayo. Restaurants should have to list all condiments by law.

It's definitely a bad situation. Something I find myself combatting monthly. I always just assume there's mayo on the sandwich. Therefore, I just say "No mayo, please." If the response is something like "It comes with mustard. Do you not want that?" like you said, I can deal with the follow up question. It assures that there is a very low mayo risk.
On a similar note, something that I conquered a few years ago was the drive thru chicken sandwich order. I'll order it " Three dollar chicken sandwiches. No mayo." The response is what I struggled with. Most employees would then ask "You said 'No Mayo?'" I used to just simply say "Yes." Then I was unsure if they thought I meant no to mayo or yes to mayo because of the ambiguity of the question. Now when they ask "You said 'No Mayo?" I say "That is correct. No mayo." Made my life a lot easier.
