It seems, the problem is caused by an illegal email address
"marionmüller at t-online.de".

And yes, this was an upgrade from 2.0.x.

Would an illegal address such as this be filtered nowadays?

Did you just upgrade from Mailman 2.1.2 or older?

It appears that this list has one or more members with
(invalid?) non-ascii characters in their email address. I
think any version from 2.1.3 on would throw this exception,
and no recent version would allow the address to be added.

You might try something like

 bin/list_members listname | egrep '[^[:alnum:]@.-]'

to find the offending address.
