Morphology
The expression follows the regular pattern 'shut one's X' meaning 'be quiet', and 'assmouth' is transparently a crude compound of 'ass' + 'mouth' functioning as an insulting substitute for 'mouth'. Although vulgar in register, the overall meaning ('shut your mouth' / 'be quiet') is directly derivable from the constituents, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would understand it.
Etymology
Shut one's assmouth comes from mixing the normal phrase shut + mouth with the rude word ass, creating a shocking image of closing the 'mouth' of someone's backside. So, it is a harsh, crude way to tell someone to 'be quiet' or 'stop talking'.
