Loooooong ago, an underground AC fare that ignored the MPM was available for YYZ-SYD. As long as no more than one connection was made in the same city, multiple ocean crossings were possible. For instance YYZ-HKG-YVR-SYD was possible, as well as a booking crossing to Europe, doubling back to YVR, then off to SYD.
I've tried both of these options with EWR-MEX, but with no luck. But, with the right combination, it should be possible.

Couldn't be that long ago since AC hasn't been flying to SYD that long...

ORD-YVR-GRU-EZE-MEX
the yvr-gru connects in YYZ.
You can book the EZE-MEX leg the next day (give yourself a night in Buenos Aires )
You can book some of segs on AA & LAN, if you need a few OW miles with your *A run

Is South America the only place to pop into this fare? Is HNL/LIH/OGG/etc possible? Anywhere else? Just curious.

could be a great way to join the Cow Do over Labor Day weekend, for one night in EZE.
The steak & malbec would be worth it
