What I think you are missing is an assignment to
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py.

virtual-mailman is created/maintained based on lists which are in one
of the domains listed in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS, and then
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD (default /usr/sbin/postmap) is run to update
virtual-mailman.db.

Once you get POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS set, if you actually have
lists in one of those domains, you can run bin/genaliases to rebuild
Mailman's data/aliases* and data/virtual-mailman* files.

<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html> may help.
