I don't think this is correct. Cantor's diagonal argument follows easily from Lawvere's fixed-point theorem

and both are quite easy to formalize.

That seems to be a different proof which implies Cantor's theorem, but not a formalization of Cantor's diagonal argument itself.

It is a formalization of Cantor's diagonal argument - in fact, of "diagonal arguments" more generally. See
http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0305282
for an expository treatment.
