But Mansfield equalised on the half-hour, as Hewitt tapped in from ex-Don Hiram Boateng's cross.
The visitors completed their comeback just after the break. Keillor-Dunn and Boateng both had shots saved but the former eventually prodded home amid a goalmouth scramble.
MK Dons struggled to rally and Nigel Clough's Stags duly wrapped up the win with two quickfire goals in the closing stages.
A breakaway move saw Keillor-Dunn outpace the backline to score his second of the match, before he turned provider in stoppage time, setting up fellow substitute Gale for a thumping fourth.
