If you run screen directly from the mosh command line, as in

  mosh hostname -- screen -dR

then mosh-server will automatically exit when screen does (e.g. when the 
screen is reattached elsewhere).

As for your existing mosh-servers, you will just need to kill them.  If 
you’re only using mosh for attaching to screen, there’s no harm in killing 
all of them (pkill -u danm mosh-server), after which you can start a new 
one as above.
