Found a solution: in package.json:

...
"scripts": 
{
        "dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
...

},

--config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js was added
