I also have a very small mouth for playing a tuba. It took me actually listening to a trumpet player's warm up before it clicked in my head....I need to do lip slurs. I have been adding various lips slurs to my warm up and my upper ranged has increased as well as my tone and breath support. It worked for me, it might for you.
Just keep practicing and try different varieties. Just never give up!
