While it is sometimes possible for MIPS to converge from an infeasible starting point, a feasible point is certainly preferred.

One thing that I'd like to clarify is: Does the starting value of optimization vector x0 (that is passed to mips as an argument) have to be a feasible solution (satisfy all constraints)?
