Make a wooden mandrel that will fit in the mouthpiece bore (you can always cover it with masking tape if it's too loose) and mount it in a lathe, then machine down the end of the tenon and also the shoulder by the same or a similar amount.

The best thing is to measure the depth of the upper socket on the barrel and make the mouthpiece tenon that same length, or maybe a tiny bit longer so there's no gap between the end of the tenon and the base of the socket. You can skim down the mouthpiece tenon shoulder to achieve that if the tenon is too short.
