That message might come from any of these cgi accesses:

./Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s\n', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/options.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s\n', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/private.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s\n', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/rmlist.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s\n', listname, e)
./Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py: syslog('error', 'No such list "%s": %s\n', listname, e)

Is it precisely every 15 minutes?  If so it sounds more like a cron job...

...which suggests yet another item that has changed dramatically over the
versions--have you adjusted the crontab entries appropriately?  Another
random thought--have you created the mailman mailing list?  (There's a
fairly new requirement that you have that single specifically named list
from which certain messages get sent.)
