What would be most likely to happen to a plant that had working chloroplasts in its cells but had taken in a poison that kept mitochondria from working?

No plant can live without mitochondria in their system. Think of it like this, would you be able to live without your bones? Or without your heart? No. Of course not. There's your answer.

There are only a few groups of Eukaryotes that lack mitochondria, and as far as I know, they are a) all single-celled, and b) may have something similar to mitochondria.

Plants need mitochondria for the same reason animals do: to produce large amounts of ATP. A small amount of ATP can be produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis, but that wouldn't be enough to keep the cell alive.
