The documentation for mimes states

Even though you only need to specify the extensions, this rule actually validates against the MIME type of the file by reading the file's contents and guessing its MIME type.

Therefore you file needs to have a valid mime type. If you only care about the extension you could use a regular expression e.g. below is ends with kml

'aoi' => 'regex:/kml$/i'
