Mailman is connecting to the host defined as smtp_host in the [mta]
section of your config. The default is 'localhost'.

If this causes mailman to try to connect to the MTA at an IPv6 address,
it's because localhost is defined as an IPv6 address in /etc/hosts.

So you can

a) change the definition of smtp_host in your Mailman config to a
literal IPv4 address, or

b) change the definition of 'localhost' in /etc/hosts to an IPv4 address, or

c) change the definition of smtp_host in your Mailman config to whatever
name is already defined in /etc/hosts as an IPv4 local host.
