Is it possible to have mailman store the email addresses it sends mail to in a database such as MySQL?

I am neither a lawyer nor an expert on the GPL, so take my advice with the proverbial grain of salt.
In any case, even if the GPL requires the provider to give you access to the source and any of the provider's modifications, it certainly doesn't require the provider to allow you to modify its software or to install any modifications you might make.

That depends on exactly what you mean by "hosting provider". If you have contracted for the whole host (including a VM), and the "preinstalled" software is done as a service for you, maybe. (It's not obvious, though, and IANAL.)
Mostly, it's a Catch-22. You only receive GPL rights if you've received at least some of the code already. The common "virtual host" service where you have your own domain name, and can upload content for distribution by a webserver and can create email addresses and mailing lists does not imply any GPL rights.
