You need to do

sudo -u daemon echo "test email" | /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post
catjuggling

I can't tell how you expect to deliver to Mailman, but I see npo Mailman
aliases here?

And Dovecot usually doesn't know how to deliver to Mailman

With the above you are generating aliases in Mailman's data/aliases, but
you aren't using them in Postfix. You have no
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS setting so you aren't generating virtual
mappings.
