mm_cfg.PIDFILE is the setting of PIDFILE in Mailman/Defaults.py or as
overriden in Mailman/mm_cfg.py. The Default setting from
Mailman/Defaults.py is

PIDFILE = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'master-qrunner.pid')

and DATA_DIR is

DATA_DIR        = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'data')

and VAR_PREFIX is set by configure, and is also defined in Defaults.py
and in your case is

VAR_PREFIX = '/var/lib/mailman/'

The permissions look OK. Could this be a SELinux or apparmor issue?

You can always put

PIDFILE = '/var/run/mailman.pid'

or whatever you want in mm_cfg.py.
