What are the problems With Tor and IRC?
I added native Tor Onion Service support to the Go IRC server Eris which will work if you build from the master branch: https://github.com/prologic/eris. It uses https://github.com/cretz/bine which is a wonderful Go library for working with Tor services to do all the configuration pretty much automatically. The example config has an example .onion configuration, commented out. It also has I2P support of that interests you at all. In these modes it actually works with the hidden service addresses directly and hypothetically it doesn't actually know an IP address to leak, barring an exploit.

Looking for: Chat service that isn't web server based
Looks fine for me. Note - you can download DEB file from https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/releases for Ubuntu and install it .. no point going over compilation stuff or via docker https://hub.docker.com/r/inspircd/inspircd-docker/

Over the internet messages/connection API or service for python
Once you've spun up a server, you'll need some sort of software to relay messages between the clients. In my opinion it's hard to go wrong with IRC here. Inspircd is pretty painless to install and configure.
