Will I be charged for baggage if I use my frequent flyer miles to/from Mexico?

I have a large number of AA miles and a credit card connected to American Airlines that gives me free seats on DOMESTIC flights.

Up to recently, I have always booked domestic flights using my American Airlines Miles. Now for the first time, I am going to Mexico City, via DFW, from Washington Dulles Airport. (At the mileage saver rate economy class.)

According to the AA website, there is a $30 fee for my bag if I fly economy class and pay cash for my ticket on flights to and from Mexico from the USA. Is the baggage fee also charged if I use my frequent flyer miles for the ticket, at the mileage saver rate? (Baggage fees for award travel.)

I have no AA Status.

(I spent a half hour googling this question and got nowhere.)
