Which would be the more authentic Mandarin translation for "mutual acquaintance":
1) 共åŒ朋å‹
2) 相è˜朋å‹?
Is it the same for Cantonese?

Chinese denotes the concept("mutual acquaintance") differently. These are the idiomatic sentences in mandarin:
我们两个都认识他 // both of us have an acquaintance with him. Or he is a mutual acquaintance of ours.
张三和æŽ四都和我相识 // both 张三 and æÂŽå›› have an acquaintance with me.
张三和æŽ四都认识王五 // both 张三 and æÂŽå›› have an acquaintance with 王五.
However, when it comes to the term "mutual friend", you can put 共åŒ的朋å‹. For example,
张三是我们共åŒ的朋å‹ // 张三 is a mutual friend of ours.

Chinese don't usually use the term "mutual acquaintance" (共åŒ的相识)
The more common way to describe a mutual acquaintance would be like the example below:
Tony is a [mutual acquaintance] of you and I
托尼是你跟我[都èªÂè˜的熟人] (Mandarin) Tony is an acquaintance of both you and I
æ±尼係你åŒ我[都è˜得嘅熟人] (Cantonese) Tony is an acquaintance of both you and I
