The code is correct. The problem is you have no VIRTUAL_HOSTS entry with
key lists.uni-koeln.de and value uni-koeln.de.

If you have defined

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.uni-koeln.de'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'uni-koeln.de'

in mm_cfg.py then you also need to include after those definitions

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
