You could just delete the Message-ID: from outgoing posts. Then the
outgoing MTA (sendmail ?) should add a unique Message-ID: when it
handles the message.

To do this, you could modify Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py by finding
the section of bulkdeliver that says

    msgtext = msg.as_string(mangle_from_=False)
    refused = {}
    recips = msgdata['recips']
    msgid = msg['message-id']
    try:
        # Send the message
        refused = conn.sendmail(envsender, recips, msgtext)

and change it to

    msgtext = msg.as_string(mangle_from_=False)
    refused = {}
    recips = msgdata['recips']
    del msg['message-id']
    msgid = 'n/a'
    try:
        # Send the message
        refused = conn.sendmail(envsender, recips, msgtext)

or if you want Mailman to actually generate a Message-ID:, change it to

    msgtext = msg.as_string(mangle_from_=False)
    refused = {}
    recips = msgdata['recips']
    del msg['message-id']
    msg['Message-ID'] = Utils.unique_message_id(mlist)
    msgid = msg['message-id']
    try:
        # Send the message
        refused = conn.sendmail(envsender, recips, msgtext)
