Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

You can get a well grade of anonimity with Briar or Session.

Not on the same level as SimpleX. With Briar and Session you have you have the same ID for everybody.

For SimpleX you can create a new random ID with each contact, so if you talk with 8 people, SimpleX will create 8 random ID's and each contact will see you as someone different than how the other contacts see you.
