Mangold and Stewart are telling us that "Logan" is set in the new timeline, created in "days of the future past", but how is this possible? We are seeing kids getting taught by the X-Men at the X-Mansion in the ending of "days of the future past" (the ending is set in 2023), but in "Logan" (the plot is set in 2029) it is stated that no mutant was born in the last 20 years. How the fuck is this possible?

The loose continuity between movies. You can chalk it up in universe to Logan over emphasizing the dire situation Mutantkind is in to Charles would shut up, or Logan's just misinformed, got fed bad information, or just talking out of his ass.
In reality, again, the series has loose continuity similar to the comics. Mangold and his writing staff have little contact with Bryan Singer, Kinberg, and the rest of the writing staff, so a simple mistake like this slipped through.

Maybe by the ending of DoFP where everyone is alive again, the sterilization of the mutants through corn syrup has already started. In the first timeline by 2023, the Sentinals were wiping out mutants. In the new timeline by 2023, the wiping out has started already. I think Hank said that we can change history but the outcomes will always be the same.
That would mean 2009 the sterilization had started, and the youngest mutants would have been born that year. And so, by 2029, a new mutant would not have been born in 20 years.
I hope that makes sense. :)
