Because you apparently have at least partially followed
<http://wiki.list.org/x/10715238> which alters POSTFIX_MAP_CMD to point
to a script which doesn't do postmap on virtual-mailman.

Relayed to localhost, why?

and bounces. It should have been delivered above instead of relayed to
itself.

You probably want

add_virtualhost('???.susmilch.com', 'susmilch.com')

and likewise other virtual domains.

Presumably you are doing this because Dovecot is the default LDA in your
postfix. It should work if properly configured. It doesn't create
virtual-mailman.db because it doesn't use it. it uses transport_maps to
map list addresses to Postfix's local transport and that in turn uses
aliases to deliver to Mailman.

This says nothing about YOUR Postfix config. -d says output the
defaults. 'postconf -n' is what we want to see.
