This seems to be related to the known bug in 2.1.10 and I have tried installing the patch that has been discussed in many places - but I am still getting the same problem. In log/error I am seeing the following:

You haven't installed the patch correctly, or you patched something other than /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Commands/cmd_subscribe.py.

The properly installed patch changes line 74 of /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Commands/cmd_subscribe.py from

 if digest is None and password.lower() in ('digest', 'nodigest'):

to

 if (digest is None
         and password and password.lower() in ('digest', nodigest')):

but if you are changing it manually, you could just change

 if digest is None and password.lower() ...

to

 if digest is None and password and password.lower() ...

i.e. just insert ' and password' following 'None'.
