Has the exact cost of any of Iron Man's armors ever been mentioned in any continuity?

You can calculate it yourself by getting the blueprints from the Iron Manual and adding up the cost of the parts. Since Stark isn't buying the parts but making them, he probably gets it cheaper than you could. They aren't often for sale, although he has given a few sets away to friends.

Guess what, it depends
Seriously though, 50+ years of Iron Man comics/movies/series have introduced a good bunch of armors, so there is no definite number.
However, here's a list of "Tony Stark implies armor X cost Y dollars" references, by chronological order. I'm excluding AIs, villas, space stations, etc.
Iron Manual armor (1993): $1.8 million a glove
Iron Manual (1993) lists pretty much all components in Iron Man's armor, but surprisingly, only one actual cost is given, that of a glove. $1.8 million for a single glove; up to the reader to extrapolate how much that elevates to for the whole armor.
Turns out the beam irregularity was due to fluke "environmental interference" - make that a speck of dirt. Good, as I hate replacing these gloves. Not that I'm a penny-pincher, but each one costs $1.8 million (1988 adjusted dollars). Not including labor.
Iron Man Dio Armor (2010): $1.5 billion
In the 2010 Iron Man series which was part of the Marvel Anime shows, Tony Stark aims to mass-produce Iron Man Dio Armors. The prototype presented in the first episode (timestamp: 9'34) costs around 1.5 billion dollars, based on what he says to the Japanese Minister of Defense:
This is the perfect time, Minister, for that favor I asked you the other day. Let's find out what one point five billion dollars can do, shall we?
Godkiller Mark II (2018): $4 billion
Built "just in case" heroes had to stand up against Celestials, and kept parked on Mars, because yes, Tony is that rich. It's a bit of cheating, since it's Celestial-sized, but Tony does control it from the inside (while wearing another armor), and eventually lets it blow up in Avengers #6 (2018), hoping that will get the Avengers rid of at least one Dark Celestial.
Those are four billion dollars' worth of fireworks. Never let 'em say we died without flair.

I don't know if there is anything canon, but I have seen quite a few articles that estimate how much it would cost:
Another thread at TredHunter estimates only $1,612,717,000.
This video estimates $100,049,100,000
This io9 article estimates $100,420,000
There are many more like these on the web, but I don't see much point in adding all of them, since I doubt any of the above is canon.

I think we can round it up as 'f**king expensive'. @SS-3.141 His full functioning suit or just the armour plating? The quality of the components would make a huge difference in total cost.
