Toluca, Taxco, Cuernavaca, Orizaba, San Miguel de Allende.
More like Toluca and not many other places. Cuernavaca gets up near 90 for a few months a year, SMA and the big cities in the center are in the high 70s/low 80s for high temperatures for about half the year. Probably still close to what the OP would find desirable because it always cools down at night.
Lake Chapala. When the temps do rise, the rains come, and cool everything down. I've lived in that type of climate, in NM. It's true; the summer temps get well into the 80's, sometimes the 90's, but the seasonal "monsoons" bring the temps down to a comfortable level. Even so, people have A/C. But being outdoors isn't uncomfortably hot, because of the daily rain shower. And it doesn't rain all day; there's a cloudburst, then it moves on.

We took the train to the top of the Copper Canyon in February and stayed in a hotel where the rooms were indivdual cottages. In the morning I looked out the window and there was 6 inches of snow on the ground.
A few places I've heard stay fairly cooler throughout the year are Orizaba and parts of the central highlands like Toluca. When I checked out the weather site @rodolfocostarica recommended, it showed average highs in Orizaba being in the mid-70s F even in summer. Cuernavaca does get warmer but @Ruth4Truth makes a good point about Lake Chapala - the moisture there seems to take the edge off heat.
