I purchased a licence of XXE recently and started working with it. My
manager had the idea, that we could also use a wiki for our internal and

to generate output format that could easily be imported into a wiki?
Sure. Suffice to develop an XSLT stylesheet which converts your XML
document (e.g. DocBook, DITA, XHTML) to wiki markup (e.g. MediaWiki; see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting) and then integrate this
XSLT stylesheet to XXE.
This is technically possible because:
a) Despite the fact that it does not use tags, a wiki markup is a
structured document markup, almost always very close to HTML.
b) An XSLT stylesheet can generate plain text.

PS: About *native* wiki markup support in XMLmind XML Editor
------------------------------------------------------------
Several years ago, XXE v3 supported a kind of plug-in called "Non-XML
format plug-in".
Using the proper "Non-XML format plug-in", you could --transparently for
the user-- open a file containing wiki markup, edit it as if it was
first-class XML (styled view, strict validation, etc), and then use
"File|Save" to save it back as wiki markup.
Morover, XXE had, and always has, everything needed (e.g. HTTP POST
multipart/form-data) to `publish'' such wiki markup file directly to the
wiki.
XXE v3 had 2 "Non-XML format plug-ins":
- One used to edit Javadoc directly inside ".java" file. Javadoc
example:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#format
- And another one which added support for something very, very, close to
wiki markup: APT (Almost Plain Text). Info about APT:
