How do I have to fill starex.txt to avoid chains of
remailers that are all run by the same remops?

e.g.
banana slow
frell frell2

Probably don't want to bar banana.

Just put then in the file sequentially.

banana
slow
frell
frell2

Have you weighed the pros & cons of doing this? This would eliminate 6
mix remailers. Leaving only 8 for you to use. Next year redjohn is
closing. You will be left with only 7 mix remailers.

Your concern seems to be the possibility of tagging attacks.

Why not use the YAMN network then? One of the reasons YAMN's creator Zax
wrote YAMN was to eliminate the possibility of tagging attacks in the
Mixmaster network. Incidentally, Zax operates a grand total of 7
remailers. And so running multiple remailers doesn't necessarily mean
that one's intentions are malicious.

Have you ever looked at an actual chain...?

Those are chains typically chosen by mixmaster below over the
past few hours.

paranoia,krautrelay,devurandom,redjohn,krautrelay,dizum
tncmm,devurandom,paranoia,banana,devurandom,dizum
austria,banana,paranoia,tncmm,austria,dizum
krautrelay,dizum,paranoia,austria,banana,dizum
redjohn,tncmm,krautrelay,austria,banana,dizum
devurandom,austria,paranoia,dizum

Maybe mixmaster isn't for you.
