I don't think you could have successfully started Mailman
(bin/mailmanctl start or however you start it) with this error. Or
perhaps Mailman was already running and you neglected to restart after
making the mm_cfg.py changes.

What I told you to put in mm_cfg.py was

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.covisp.net'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.covisp.net'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

If you don't have the first two of those lines, add them. If you just
neglected to mention them, OK.

If you would rather put the values in the add_virtualhost() line,
that's OK, but since they are values, they have to be quoted as

add_virtualhost('mailman.covisp.net', 'mail.covisp.net')
