I found a workaround:

In Mypy PyCharm Settings I removed the auto-filled value in "Path to config file" and added this to the Arguments:

--config-file=C:/Projects/DragenEngineering/trip_runner2/setup.cfg

Some more information about the bug: the file .idea/mypy.xml was:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <project version="4">
   <component name="MypyConfigService">
     <option name="mypyConfigFilePath" value="$PROJECT_DIR$/setup.cfg" />
  </component>
</project>

Perhaps the $PROJECT_DIR$ is not parsed correctly?

This solved it for me as well
