Unless it's an unusual mouthpiece made of wood, there's no wood in the mouthpiece tenon. I guess it's possible for the wood socket of the barrel to swell during use and grab the tenon. But that's a more common problem with barrels getting stuck on the tenon of the upper joint, which is wood.

Still, it's worth trying to determine if there's any possibility the wood at the bottom of the barrel socket is binding around the mouthpiece. The creaking Paul describes would be a suggestive indicator.
