Unsure if I was doing this wrong or if this is bugged, using right trigger punches and doesn't place chest on the donkey (as some say to), left trigger either rides the donkey/goes into it's inventory when crouched.
Most recent update for bedrock edition (phase 1 of aquatic, unsure if present in beta for 1.5.0.4)
Donkey is tamed.

I have both a donkey and mule and neither have a chest slot when riding, Along with the other donkeys I've had in other playthroughs. I know the health, speed and jump height do differ and can be bred into other horses and the such.
Either way I'm fairly certain it's bugged for survival, I can place a chest on the mule/donkey no problem in creative
UPDATE: Chests that have been STACKED cannot be placed on donkeys or mules (haven't tested Llamas), however a freshly crafted non-stacked chest was able to be placed!
I was not able to reproduce this problem on Windows 10 release 1.4.0.5. I tried it with a freshly crafted chest, with a stack of freshly crafted chests, and with a stack of chests I had in storage, all in Survival. In each case, the chest was mounted by the Use control.
Is it possible the stack didn't work for you because it was an old stack created in an earlier release? Was this world created on the Bedrock edition or transferred from Xbox One Edition?
That is possible that the stack didn't work due to being from an older release (one right before aquatic phase 1) though I remember attempting to place a chest that naturally generated (blacksmith chest from village) and that didn't allow me to place it on the donkey/mule.
The world was created about the same time (before phase 1), in the Bedrock version and not transferred from the Xbox one edition.
Thank you for your report!

You should have a slot below the sadle slot in the inventory whe you're riding it. Thats where you put the chest. However today i tamed a donkey and it had only the sadle slot. Not sure if that's intended( just as health, speed and jumphight differ per horse/mule/donkey). I only tried one.
but i think every donkey and mule should have a chest slot the number of slots available in that chest differs per donkey/mule. But i'm not 100% sure of that.
