When I run the following command
mimetype -DM --database /usr/share/misc/magic /path/to/reset.css
I expect to see text/css as a result but instead I get text/plain. Is there a way to fix this?

Removing -M didn't change anything

The manpage you linked to says it looks in the following locations for the database:

$HOME/.local/share/mime

/usr/local/share/mime

/usr/share/mime

You can maybe figure out how to add an entry for CSS by looking at those directories.

After updating you have to run update-mime-database

EDIT:

You're using the -M switch which means it won't look at the file extension. It will look at the contents of the file only. A CSS file doesn't have a consistent header though so I doubt that will work.
