Why do you roll your own packages if you then can't get them to fly
yourself?

There is a wishlist bug report against mailman which gives more
detailed information about interfacing exim with mailman "the Debian
way". No need to switch off all Debianisms by rolling your own config.

See #303342.

That looks like you have severely misconfigured the packages while
doing your local rebuilds. The Debian stock mailman runs as user list,
group list.

You are obviously missing the basic knowledge needed to do what you
want, and you're making things unnecessarily hard by trying to
re-invent wheels that the Distribution has already invented for you
(and much better than your own invention obviously).
