If yall run range hood vent or fart fans often then you may be getting some humid warm air getting drawn in to replace the air being exhausted by the vent fans. I don't quite understand your situ but I'd leave some vent fans on and go explore around the chimney to see if you feel or smell exterior air.
Fyi, its not uncommon for chimney's and the space around the flue to be a leaky air pita.

On the left of the fireplace in one of the pictures it looks like there is a tub/shower that backs up to the fireplace wall. If that’s the case, there is likely an open tub box on the drain side of that tub. That opening needs to be sealed by either pouring concrete in the opening or using foam. If it’s not sealed, the ground moisture could be causing condensation on that tub and causing the moisture/mildew smell.
