Two things:

If digest_send_periodic=No, cron/senddigests will never send a digest
for this list. You want digest_send_periodic=Yes.

More importantly, if your Mailman is older than 2.1.16,
digest_size_threshold=0 means send a digest with every post rather than
unlimited size. See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558274>.

You can fix it with the attached patch or just set
digest_size_threshold=1000 or some other big number.
