How to mount mirror to wall (with trim)

Dry wall just got hung in our new build and I'm doing a little research for DH.

In our last house DH glued the bathroom mirror directly to the wall. Excess moisture/condensation from the walls ended up dripping down behind the mirror and left black spots that showed through the mirror. Obviously we did something wrong there.

What is the proper way to mount the mirrors to the wall? Do we glue directly to the wall, use some type of mounting clip to keep the mirror away from the wall slightly, do we caulk the top/sides to prevent moisture from getting behind the mirrors?

We would also like to have some small trim framing the mirror so any insight into how to mount the mirror along with the trim would be appreciated. See attached photo for trim example.
