Actually, what you probably want is

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'domain1.de'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'lists.domain1.de'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
add_virtualhost('lists.domain2.de', 'domain2.de')

Because at least in a normal Debian/Ubuntu package web URLs are
http://lists.domainx.de/... and list mailing addresses are list at domainx.de.

The changes you made to mm_cfg.py do not affect the host_name for any
existing lists. I suggest you do the following:

1) make the changes I suggest above in mm_cfg.py

2) for each list in domain1 run

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url LISTNAME

and for each list in domain2 run

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url LISTNAME -u lists.domain2.de

This will fix the list's web_page_url and host_name attributes
appropriately.

3) run bin/genaliases
