Yes, it seems like you can't run interactive commands via Webmin.

Yes. As long as you can login via telnet as a user (mailman ?) with the
required access, that would be the way to run the bin/* tools, or you
may be able to run them via Webmin by including all required arguments
on the command line, so no prompting occurs. E.g.,

bin/newlist list_name owner_email list_pw
