The calibre command for converting mobi to epub is ebook-convert, and yes, it works, although not 100% -- sometimes heading structure doesn't come across correctly in the output document.

Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com) handles Mobi->ePub conversions.
Its primary purpose is to create and maintain an eBook database, but
it converts between supported formats. Calibre is written in Python,
and cross-platform, available for Windows, Linux, and OS/X.

I haven't tried it, but I believe the conversion can be done from the
command line, calling the conversion module directly instead of going
through the GUI.

(I've converted files I got in Mobi format to ePub without issue.)
