This is something I've been trying to do too, however I couldn't get your method to work on my setup (LXC containers inside Proxmox). It wouldn't create the initial tmux session.
However, I found this Stack Overflow question which has a useful answer:
I was getting sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force at the top of tmux when using tmux attach || tmux new. What happens is tmux also executes .bashrc/profile.
So now I use this:
if [[ ! "$TERM" =~ "screen" ]]; then
tmux attach -t default || tmux new -s default
fi
in my .bashrc
TERM is set to 'screen' in tmux environment.

Putting
tmux new -A -s mySessionin my .profile works.I'm also using mosh to persist the connection when my PC goes to sleep.
Glad you got it to work, also, I've only heard praises for mosh. I should take it for a spin one of these days.
