A minimal system $(X,T)$ is topologically mildly mixing if for all non-empty open subsets $U,V$, $\{n\in {\mathbb Z}: U\cap T^{-n}V\neq \emptyset\}$ is an IP$^*$-set. In this paper we show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it is mild mixing of all orders along polynomials. That is, suppose that $(X,T)$ is a topologically mildly mixing minimal system, $d\in {\mathbb N}$, $p_1(n),\ldots, p_d(n)$ are integral polynomials with no $p_i$ and no $p_i-p_j$ constant, $1\le i\neq j\le d$. Then for all non-empty open subsets $U , V_1, \ldots, V_d$, $\{n\in {\mathbb Z}: U\cap T^{-p_1(n) }V_1\cap T^{-p_2(n)}V_2\cap \ldots \cap T^{-p_d(n) }V_d \neq \emptyset \}$ is an IP$^*$-set. We also give the corresponding theorem for systems under abelian group actions.
