It's normal for power mirrors to work with key off.

This symptom could be failed diodes in the alternator---the typical retail parts outlets claiming they test alternators could not discover this fault. The alternator needs to be tested by a dedicated automotive electrical shop.

You need to do a orderly check for parasitic current draw. There are YouTube videos that explain how to do this.
