That's what I thought as well.
Neither word appears in my dictionary here at home (I don't have the
OED). Searching Google for a clue to actual usage, "axiomize" gives
84 hits while "axiomatize" gives 4,580. The fact that "axiomatize" is
50 times more popular doesn't quite prove that there is no such
word as "axiomize", but it's certainly sufficient to make "no, it's
axiomize" seem a little silly...
