Thanks for your great clarification. Please note I have some progress here
meantime and also some new problem.

[1] I have dedicated domain for mailman, but I have removed the
 postfix_to_mailman.py related part from master.cf

[2] I have added the mailman domain at mydestination.

Now after restarting postfix I can send mail without any error. Though don't know
how logiacl is to add the domain at mydestination. The mm_cfg.py is untouched

Please note there is no /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman here.

# rpm -qal mailman | grep vir
/usr/share/doc/packages/mailman/contrib/virtusertable

Now the problem is I get email error as

``````````````
Command died with status 2:
    "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request typo3". Command output: Failure to
    exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 65533.
