Jun 14, 2015 at 23:21 comment added Héctor @FelipeVoloch Thanks, very clear argument, i didn't see that. This satisfy me as an answer, but i'll leave this open in case someone has some great idea of how to show this without Schanuel.
Jun 14, 2015 at 23:11 comment added Felipe Voloch Apply Schanuel to $2\pi i, \log n, \log m$. The last two numbers are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$ because of your hypothesis and the fact that $\pi$ is irrational. Then all three numbers are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$ since $2\pi i$ is not real. Finally, the exponentials of all three numbers are rational, so Schanuel implies that the three numbers are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{Q}$ which is stronger than what you want.

Jun 14, 2015 at 23:03 comment added Héctor @FelipeVoloch If is not too much to ask, could you outline the argument of why this should follow from Schanuel's conjeture? transcendence theory it's not my area. Thanks.
Jun 14, 2015 at 22:57 comment added Felipe Voloch This follows from Schanuel's conjecture but it's probably hard to prove unconditionally.
