You will need to:

1. make the appropriate changes to you Apache httpd.conf so that your 
server will only make the Mailman web interface URIs available via https.

2. assuming MM 2.1.1, assign the value of the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN MM config 
variable in mm_cfg.py to use the https scheme, e.g.

    DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'

This should ensure that the web_page_url atrribute of new lists uses https

3. use $prefix/bin/fix_url.py to get the change to DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN to 
propagate to the web_page_url attribute of any existing lists.
