Research turned up only one website that regularly publishes ephemerides about mutual events at binary asteroids.
It´s at the russian Sternberg Institute: 


Unfortunately most of the moons are to small for photometry with amateur-equipment


The Ephermerides at the Sternberg Institute make only sense for 5 binarys




An other usefull source are the light-curves on the page of Roul Behrend:



After one rotation around the sun eclipsing binary will have a compareable geometry.
...but only eclipsing one... occultations change the geometry:



Typical for mutual events is a v-shaped lightcurve:
