No it isn't. Mesh means satellites and routers talking to one another to manage wifi links. That communication won't work between two routers.
Maybe you have two mesh networks with the same SSID. That's not the same thing as one mesh network.
Two routers = trouble.
Regardless of their brand and claimed wifi features.
If these routers are the same model, then you best bet would be to remove one of them and stick with the satellites.
As it is, your two routers will find it impossible to coexist with the same local IP address. Perhaps that is why you have one that is not on the default 192.168.1.1. (I assume that you just made a mistake when you referred to 192.16.1.1.)
