Same goes with his concerto. It's up to the musician to play it the way he or she feels like it should be played.
Well, for the concerto, there is a manuscript of an earlier version of the exposition for basset horn (the basset horn part, moreover, is exactly the same as what we now play as the clarinet concerto). So aside from the development section, we do know what articulations Mozart liked for the first movement of the concerto.
I think the general convention is that where there are no slurs, you can add them. Where Mozart puts slurs, however, you have to observe them (because the slurs denote a particular type of phrasing, whereby the performer decrescendos slightly).
