In the matter of the hyphen, my style guide states:

Although hyphenated prefixes are perfectly acceptable, modern writing style minimises the use of the hyphen, by writing in "solid" form compounds using the prefixes.

Although US speakers tend to use spelled for the past participle of to spell, English speakers outside of the US tend to use spelt. Either is acceptable usage according to all of my dictionaries.

Thus, mis-spelt is quite legitimate.
